More quotes by Edgar Degas
In painting you must give the idea of the true by means of the false.
Edgar Degas
He once said that he wished to be famous, but unknown.
Edgar Degas
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Edgar Degas
Art is vice. You don't marry it legitimately, you rape it.
Edgar Degas
I should like to be famous and unknown.
Edgar Degas
We were created to look at one another, weren't we?
Edgar Degas
So that's the telephone? They ring, and you run.
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
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
Be sure to give the same expression to a person's face that you give to his body.
Edgar Degas
A picture is an artificial work, outside nature. It calls for as much cunning as the commission of a crime.
Edgar Degas
An artist must approach his work in the spirit of the criminal about to commit a crime.
Edgar Degas
There is love, and there is work and we have only one heart.
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
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
You must aim high, not in what you are going to do at some future date, but in what you are going to make yourself do to-day. Otherwise, working is just a waste of time.
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
The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.
Edgar Degas
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
Edgar Degas
