More quotes by Edgar Degas
Great patience is called for on the hard path that I have entered on.
Edgar Degas
Only two of my personalities are schizophrenic, but one of them is paranoid and the other one is out to get him. Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Edgar Degas
Truth is never ugly when one can find in it what one needs.
Edgar Degas
A painting requires a little mystery, some vagueness, and some fantasy. When you always make your meaning perfectly plain you end up boring people.
Edgar Degas
No art is less spontaneous than mine. What I do is the result of reflection and the study of the great masters.
Edgar Degas
There is a kind of success that is indistinguishable from panic.
Edgar Degas
I have been, or seemed, hard with everyone because I was carried away by a sort of brutality born of my distrust in myself and my ill-humor. I have felt so badly equipped, so soft, in spite of the fact that my attitude towards art seemed to me so just. I was disgusted with everyone, and especially myself.
Edgar Degas
Hitherto the nude has always been represented in poses which presuppose an audience. But my women are simple, honest creatures who are concerned with nothing beyond their physical occupations... it is as if you were looking through a keyhole.
Edgar Degas
A picture is an artificial work, outside nature. It calls for as much cunning as the commission of a crime.
Edgar Degas
We were created to look at one another, weren't we?
Edgar Degas
Be sure to give the same expression to a person's face that you give to his body.
Edgar Degas
Muses work all day long and then at night get together and dance.
Edgar Degas
Drawing is not what you see but what you must make others see.
Edgar Degas
I feel as a horse must feel when the beautiful cup is given to the jockey.
Edgar Degas
Art' is the same word as 'artifice,' that is to say, something deceitful. It must succeed in giving the impression of nature by false means.
Edgar Degas
You must aim high, not in what you are going to do at some future date, but in what you are going to make yourself do to-day. Otherwise, working is just a waste of time.
Edgar Degas
It is people's movement that consoles us. If the leaves of a tree did not move, how sad would be the tree - and so should we.
Edgar Degas
One does not marry art. One ravishes it.
Edgar Degas
So that's the telephone? They ring, and you run.
Edgar Degas
The fascinating thing, is not to show the source of light, but the effect of light.
Edgar Degas
