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
Image
A taste for simplicity cannot last for long.
Eugene Delacroix

Eugene Delacroix
Image
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
Image
One should not be too difficult. An artist should not treat himself like an enemy.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
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
Image
What makes sovereign ugliness are our conventions.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
Give me some mud, and I will paint you a woman's flesh.
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
One must learn to be grateful for one's own findings.

Glory to that Homer of painting, to that father of warmth and enthusiasm... he really paints men.
