More quotes by Edgar Degas
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
People call me the painter of dancing girls. It has never occurred to them that my chief interest in dancers lies in rendering movement and painting pretty clothes.
Edgar Degas
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
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
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
Taste! It doesn't exist. An artist makes beautiful things without being aware of it.
Edgar Degas
The fascinating thing, is not to show the source of light, but the effect of light.
Edgar Degas
The frame is the reward of the artist.
Edgar Degas
Art is really a battle.
Edgar Degas
There is love, and there is work and we have only one heart.
Edgar Degas
Truth is never ugly when one can find in it what one needs.
Edgar Degas
Art is vice. You don't marry it legitimately, you rape it.
Edgar Degas
An artist must approach his work in the spirit of the criminal about to commit a crime.
Edgar Degas
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
I should like to be famous and unknown.
Edgar Degas
If I could have had my own way, I would have confined myself to black and white.
Edgar Degas
In painting you must give the idea of the true by means of the false.
Edgar Degas
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
No art is less spontaneous than mine. What I do is the result of reflection and the study of the great masters.
Edgar Degas
I really have a lot of stuff in my head if only there were insurance companies for that as there are for so many things.
Edgar Degas
