More quotes by Eugene Delacroix
Even when we look at nature, our imagination constructs the picture.
Eugene Delacroix
A taste for simplicity cannot last for long.
Eugene Delacroix
Do all the work you can that is the whole philosophy of the good way of life.
Eugene Delacroix
Painters who are not colorists produce illumination, not painting.
Eugene Delacroix
Cold exactitude is not art... The so-called consciousness of the majority of painters is only perfection applied to the art of boring. People like that, if they could, would work with the same minute attention on the back of their canvas.
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
One must learn to be grateful for one's own findings.
Eugene Delacroix
Curiously enough, the Sublime is generally achieved through want of proportion.
Eugene Delacroix
Nature creates unity even in the parts of a whole.
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
Give me some mud, and I will paint you a woman's flesh.
Eugene Delacroix
It is only possible to speak in the language and in the spirit of one's time.
Eugene Delacroix
When a thing bores you, do not do it.
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
Glory to that Homer of painting, to that father of warmth and enthusiasm... he really paints men.
Eugene Delacroix
Criticism is like many other things, it drags along after what has already been said and doesn't get out of its rut.
Eugene Delacroix
If you are not skillful enough to sketch a man jumping out of a window in the time it takes him to fall from the fourth storey to the ground, you will never be able to produce great works.
Eugene Delacroix
Talent does whatever it wants to do. Genius does only what it can.
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
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
