More quotes by Edgar Degas
There is love, and there is work and we have only one heart.
Edgar Degas
The frame is the reward of the artist.
Edgar Degas
There is too much talk and gossip pictures are apparently made, like stock-market prices, by competition of people eager for profits... All this traffic sharpens our intelligence and falsifies our judgment.
Edgar Degas
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
I'll buy a bottle for anyone who can tell me what makes a picture beautiful!
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
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
Drawing is not what you see but what you must make others see.
Edgar Degas
What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it's charming.
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
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
I feel as a horse must feel when the beautiful cup is given to the jockey.
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
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
Once they witnessed one of his painting sold at auction for $100,000. And asked how you do it, he said, 'I feel as a horse must feel when the beautiful cup is given to the jockey.'
Edgar Degas
Be sure to give the same expression to a person's face that you give to his body.
Edgar Degas
Art is really a battle.
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
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
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
