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
Art is really a battle.
Edgar Degas
It requires courage to make a frontal attack on nature through the broad planes and the large lines and it is cowardly to do it by the facets and details. It is a battle.
Edgar Degas
These women of mine are decent, simple human beings who have no other concern than that of their physical condition... it is as though one were watching through a keyhole.
Edgar Degas
Make people's portraits in familiar and typical attitudes.
Edgar Degas
So that's the telephone? They ring, and you run.
Edgar Degas
There is love, and there is work and we have only one heart.
Edgar Degas
The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.
Edgar Degas
In painting you must give the idea of the true by means of the false.
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
