More quotes by Eugene Delacroix
Cold exactitude is not art ingenious artifice, when it pleases or when it expresses, is art itself.
Eugene Delacroix
A picture is nothing but a bridge between the soul of the artist and that of the spectator.
Eugene Delacroix
It is often we come the closest to the essence of an artist... in his or her pocket notebooks and travel sketchbooks... where written comments and personal notes provide an intimate insight into the magical mind of a working artist.
Eugene Delacroix
Not only can color, which is under fixed laws, be taught like music, but it is easier to learn than drawing, whose elaborate principles cannot be taught.
Eugene Delacroix
One should not be too difficult. An artist should not treat himself like an enemy.
Eugene Delacroix
Everything is a subject the subject is yourself. It is within yourself that you must look and not around you... The greatest happiness is to reveal it to others, to study oneself, to paint oneself continually in [one's] work.
Eugene Delacroix
Curiously enough, the Sublime is generally achieved through want of proportion.
Eugene Delacroix
God is that inner presence which makes us admire the beautiful and consoles us for not sharing the happiness of the wicked.
Eugene Delacroix
As for the ridiculous fear of making things below one's potential abilities... No, there is the root of the evil. There is the hiding place of stupidity I must attack: vain mortal, you are limited by nothing.
Eugene Delacroix
To be understood a writer has to explain almost everything.
Eugene Delacroix
Delsarte tells me that Mozart stole outrageously from Galuppi, in the same way, I suppose, that Molière stole from anybody anywhere, if he found something work taking. I said that what was Mozart had not been stolen from Galuppi, or from anyone else for that matter.
Eugene Delacroix
The things one experiences alone with oneself are very much stronger and purer.
Eugene Delacroix
Glory to that Homer of painting, to that father of warmth and enthusiasm... he really paints men.
Eugene Delacroix
One must learn to be grateful for one's own findings.
Eugene Delacroix
Commonplace people have an answer for everything and nothing ever surprises them. They try to look as though they knew what you were about to say better than you did yourself, and when it is their turn to speak, they repeat with great assurance something that they have heard other people say, as though it were their own invention.
Eugene Delacroix
Give me some mud, and I will paint you a woman's flesh.
Eugene Delacroix
At a distance this fine oak seems to be of ordinary size. But if I place myself under its branches, the impression changes completely: I see it as big, and even terrifying in its bigness.
Eugene Delacroix
Let a man of genius make use [of photography] as it should be used, and he will raise himself to a height that we do not know.
Eugene Delacroix
When a thing bores you, do not do it.
Eugene Delacroix
We work not only to produce, but to give value to time.
Eugene Delacroix
