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
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
Image
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
Edgar Degas
Image
So that's the telephone? They ring, and you run.
Edgar Degas
Image
Be sure to give the same expression to a person's face that you give to his body.
Edgar Degas
Image
There is love, and there is work and we have only one heart.
Edgar Degas
Image
The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
The frame is the reward of the artist.
Edgar Degas
Image
Truth is never ugly when one can find in it what one needs.
Edgar Degas
Image
Great patience is called for on the hard path that I have entered on.
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
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
Image
Even in front of nature one must compose.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
Edgar Degas
Image
I'll buy a bottle for anyone who can tell me what makes a picture beautiful!
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
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.'
