People call me the painter of dancing girls. It has never occurred to them that my chief interest in dancers lies in rendering movement and painting pretty clothes.
Edgar Degas
Image
These women of mine are decent, simple human beings who have no other concern than that of their physical condition... it is as though one were watching through a keyhole.
Edgar Degas
Image
And even this heart of mine has something artificial. The dancers have sewn it into a bag of pink satin, pink satin slightly faded, like their dancing shoes.
Edgar Degas
Image
There is a kind of success that is indistinguishable from panic.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
No art is less spontaneous than mine. What I do is the result of reflection and the study of the great masters.
Edgar Degas
Image
A picture is first of all a product of the artist's imagination, it must never be a copy.
Edgar Degas
Image
I'll buy a bottle for anyone who can tell me what makes a picture beautiful!
Edgar Degas
Image

Edgar Degas
Image
I feel as a horse must feel when the beautiful cup is given to the jockey.
Edgar Degas
Image
Great patience is called for on the hard path that I have entered on.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
Make people's portraits in familiar and typical attitudes.
Edgar Degas
Image
Taste! It doesn't exist. An artist makes beautiful things without being aware of it.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
An artist must approach his work in the spirit of the criminal about to commit a crime.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
He once said that he wished to be famous, but unknown.
Edgar Degas
Image
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
Edgar Degas
Image
The frame is the reward of the artist.
