More quotes by Edgar Degas
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
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
What a horrible thing yellow is.
Edgar Degas
What is certain is that setting a piece of nature in place and drawing it are two very different things.
Edgar Degas
There is a kind of success that is indistinguishable from panic.
Edgar Degas
Art is vice. You don't marry it legitimately, you rape it.
Edgar Degas
In painting you must give the idea of the true by means of the false.
Edgar Degas
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
Edgar Degas
I'll buy a bottle for anyone who can tell me what makes a picture beautiful!
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
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
Art is really a battle.
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
The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.
Edgar Degas
So that's the telephone? They ring, and you run.
Edgar Degas
I should like to be famous and unknown.
Edgar Degas
Taste! It doesn't exist. An artist makes beautiful things without being aware of it.
Edgar Degas
The secret is to follow the advice the masters give you in their works while doing something different from them.
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
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
