Edgar Degas
The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.
Edgar Degas
I'll buy a bottle for anyone who can tell me what makes a picture beautiful!
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.
