More quotes by Edgar Degas
There is love, and there is work and we have only one heart.
Edgar Degas
A picture is an artificial work, outside nature. It calls for as much cunning as the commission of a crime.
Edgar Degas
A picture is first of all a product of the artist's imagination, it must never be a copy.
Edgar Degas
Make portraits of people in typical, familiar poses, being sure above all to give their faces the same kind of expression as their bodies.
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
Muses work all day long and then at night get together and dance.
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
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
Edgar Degas
Art is vice. You don't marry it legitimately, you rape it.
Edgar Degas
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Edgar Degas
The secret is to follow the advice the masters give you in their works while doing something different from them.
Edgar Degas
The museums are here to teach the history of art and something more as well, for, if they stimulate in the weak a desire to imitate, they furnish the strong with the means of their emancipation.
Edgar Degas
There is a kind of success that is indistinguishable from panic.
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
Great patience is called for on the hard path that I have entered on.
Edgar Degas
An artist must approach his work in the spirit of the criminal about to commit a crime.
Edgar Degas
One does not marry art. One ravishes it.
Edgar Degas
For those who don't know what they are doing, painting is easy. For those who do know what they are doing, painting is difficult.
Edgar Degas
We were created to look at one another, weren't we?
Edgar Degas
In painting you must give the idea of the true by means of the false.
Edgar Degas
