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

Edgar Degas
Art is vice. You don't marry it legitimately, you rape it.
Edgar Degas
The frame is the reward of the artist.
Edgar Degas
A picture is a thing which requires as much knavery, as much malice, and as much vice as the perpetration of a crime. Make it untrue and add an accent of truth.
Edgar Degas
Truth is never ugly when one can find in it what one needs.
Edgar Degas
Make people's portraits in familiar and typical attitudes.
Edgar Degas
He once said that he wished to be famous, but unknown.
Edgar Degas
Muses work all day long and then at night get together and dance.
Edgar Degas
