More quotes by Eugene Delacroix
Take hold of objects by their centres, not by their lines of contour... The contour accentuated uniformly and beyond proportion, destroys plasticity, bringing forward those parts of an object which are always most distant from the eye - namely its outlines.
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
Everyone knows that yellow, orange, and red suggest ideas of joy and plenty. I can paint you the skin of Venus with mud, provided you let me surround it as I will.
Eugene Delacroix
Mythological subjects always new. Modern subjects difficult because of the absence of the nude and the wretchedness of modern costume.
Eugene Delacroix
Glory to that Homer of painting, to that father of warmth and enthusiasm... he really paints men.
Eugene Delacroix
The outcome of my days is always the same an infinite desire for what one never gets a void one cannot fill an utter yearning to produce in all ways, to battle as much as possible against time that drags us along, and the distractions that throw a veil over our soul.
Eugene Delacroix
In abandoning the vagueness of the sketch the artist shows more of his personality by revealing the range but also the limitations of his talent.
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
God is that inner presence which makes us admire the beautiful and consoles us for not sharing the happiness of the wicked.
Eugene Delacroix
If one considered life as a simple loan, one would perhaps be less exacting. We possess actually nothing everything goes through us.
Eugene Delacroix
The artist is always concerned with a total view of the world. However, when the photographer takes a picture ... the edge of his picture is just as interesting as the middle, one can only guess at the existence of a whole, and the view presented seems chosen by chance.
Eugene Delacroix
What makes sovereign ugliness are our conventions.
Eugene Delacroix
When a thing bores you, do not do it.
Eugene Delacroix
What moves those of genius, what inspires their work is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough.
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
It is only possible to speak in the language and in the spirit of one's time.
Eugene Delacroix
All painting worth its name, unless one is talking about black and white, must include the idea of color as one of its necessary supports, in the same way that it includes chiaroscuro, proportion, and perspective.
Eugene Delacroix
To be understood a writer has to explain almost everything.
Eugene Delacroix
One must learn to be grateful for one's own findings.
Eugene Delacroix
Cold exactitude is not art ingenious artifice, when it pleases or when it expresses, is art itself.
Eugene Delacroix
