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
What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it's charming.
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
Drawing is not what you see but what you must make others see.
Edgar Degas
Image
I would like to be famous but unknown.
Edgar Degas

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
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
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.'
Edgar Degas
Image
Great patience is called for on the hard path that I have entered on.
Edgar Degas
Image
There is love, and there is work and we have only one heart.
Edgar Degas
Image
Art is vice. One does not wed it, one rapes it.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
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
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Edgar Degas
Image
If I could have had my own way, I would have confined myself to black and white.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
I should like to be famous and unknown.
Edgar Degas
Image
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
