More quotes by Eugene Delacroix
Curiously enough, the Sublime is generally achieved through want of proportion.
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
God is that inner presence which makes us admire the beautiful and consoles us for not sharing the happiness of the wicked.
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
A taste for simplicity cannot last for long.
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
Painters who are not colorists produce illumination, not painting.
Eugene Delacroix
Cold exactitude is not art ingenious artifice, when it pleases or when it expresses, is art itself.
Eugene Delacroix
There is a man whose qualities can be savored by people who are getting old... The painter qualities are carried to the highest point in his work: what he does is done - through and through when he paints eyes, they are lit with the fire of life.
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
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
If one considered life as a simple loan, one would perhaps be less exacting. We possess actually nothing everything goes through us.
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
Even when we look at nature, our imagination constructs the picture.
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
Do all the work you can that is the whole philosophy of the good way of life.
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
To be understood a writer has to explain almost everything.
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
It is only possible to speak in the language and in the spirit of one's time.
Eugene Delacroix
