More quotes by Eugene Delacroix

Image
One should not be too difficult. An artist should not treat himself like an enemy.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
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
Image
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
Image
We work not only to produce, but to give value to time.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
It is only possible to speak in the language and in the spirit of one's time.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
The living model never answers well the idea or impressions the painter wishes to express one must, therefore, learn to do without one, and for that, you must acquire facility, furnish one's memory to the point of infinitude, and make numerous drawings after the old masters.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
To be understood a writer has to explain almost everything.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
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
Image
Talent does whatever it wants to do. Genius does only what it can.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
Experience has two things to teach. The first is that we must correct a great deal and the second, that we must not correct too much.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
Even when we look at nature, our imagination constructs the picture.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
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
Image
Give me some mud, and I will paint you a woman's flesh.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
When a thing bores you, do not do it.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
Mythological subjects always new. Modern subjects difficult because of the absence of the nude and the wretchedness of modern costume.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
I am carrying out my plan, so long formulated, of keeping a journal. What I most keenly wish is not to forget that I am writing for myself alone. Thus I shall always tell the truth, I hope, and thus I shall improve myself. These pages will reproach me for my changes of mind.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
A taste for simplicity cannot last for long.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
A wife of your own stature is the greatest of all blessings.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
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.

Image
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.
