More quotes by Edgar Degas
In painting you must give the idea of the true by means of the false.
Edgar Degas
Your pictures would have been finished a long time ago if I were not forced every day to do something to earn money.
Edgar Degas
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
Edgar Degas
What is certain is that setting a piece of nature in place and drawing it are two very different things.
Edgar Degas
Art is vice. One does not wed it, one rapes it.
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
So that's the telephone? They ring, and you run.
Edgar Degas
The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.
Edgar Degas
A picture is first of all a product of the artist's imagination, it must never be a copy.
Edgar Degas
The frame is the reward of the artist.
Edgar Degas
A picture is an artificial work, outside nature. It calls for as much cunning as the commission of a crime.
Edgar Degas
Taste! It doesn't exist. An artist makes beautiful things without being aware of it.
Edgar Degas
It is all very well to copy what one sees, but it is far better to draw what one now only sees in one's memory. That is a transformation in which imagination collaborates with memory.
Edgar Degas
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
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
Make people's portraits in familiar and typical attitudes.
Edgar Degas
Even in front of nature one must compose.
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
One does not marry art. One ravishes it.
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
