More quotes by Edgar Degas
Be sure to give the same expression to a person's face that you give to his body.
Edgar Degas
In painting you must give the idea of the true by means of the false.
Edgar Degas
The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.
Edgar Degas
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Edgar Degas
Hitherto the nude has always been represented in poses which presuppose an audience. But my women are simple, honest creatures who are concerned with nothing beyond their physical occupations... it is as if you were looking through a keyhole.
Edgar Degas
What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it's charming.
Edgar Degas
Taste! It doesn't exist. An artist makes beautiful things without being aware of it.
Edgar Degas
I should like to be famous and unknown.
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
Art is really a battle.
Edgar Degas
There is a kind of success that is indistinguishable from panic.
Edgar Degas
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
Edgar Degas
So that's the telephone? They ring, and you run.
Edgar Degas
Drawing is not what you see but what you must make others see.
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
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
Even in front of nature one must compose.
Edgar Degas
the moods of sadness that come over anyone who takes up art... these dismal moods have very little compensation.
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
If I could have had my own way, I would have confined myself to black and white.
Edgar Degas
