More quotes by Edgar Degas
Art is vice. One does not wed it, one rapes it.
Edgar Degas
So that's the telephone? They ring, and you run.
Edgar Degas
I should like to be famous and unknown.
Edgar Degas
What is certain is that setting a piece of nature in place and drawing it are two very different things.
Edgar Degas
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
Edgar Degas
It seems to me that today if the artist wishes to be serious... he must once more sink himself in solitude.
Edgar Degas
I really have a lot of stuff in my head if only there were insurance companies for that as there are for so many things.
Edgar Degas
There is love, and there is work and we have only one heart.
Edgar Degas
In painting you must give the idea of the true by means of the false.
Edgar Degas
One must have a high opinion of a work of art - not the work one is creating at the moment, but of that which one desires to achieve one day. Without this it is not worthwhile working.
Edgar Degas
Your pictures would have been finished a long time ago if I were not forced every day to do something to earn money.
Edgar Degas
A picture is first of all a product of the artist's imagination, it must never be a copy.
Edgar Degas
Art is vice. You don't marry it legitimately, you rape it.
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
Art critic! Is that a profession? When I think we are stupid enough, we painters, to solicit those people's compliments and to put ourselves into their hands! What shame! Should we even accept that they talk about our work?
Edgar Degas
You have to have a high conception, not of what you are doing, but of what you may do one day: without that, there's no point in working.
Edgar Degas
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
Edgar Degas
What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it's charming.
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
No art is less spontaneous than mine. What I do is the result of reflection and the study of the great masters.
Edgar Degas
