Criticism is like many other things, it drags along after what has already been said and doesn't get out of its rut.

More quotes by 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
When a thing bores you, do not do it.
Eugene Delacroix
A picture is nothing but a bridge between the soul of the artist and that of the spectator.
Eugene Delacroix
A wife of your own stature is the greatest of all blessings.
Eugene Delacroix
Talent does whatever it wants to do. Genius does only what it can.
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
If one considered life as a simple loan, one would perhaps be less exacting. We possess actually nothing everything goes through us.
Eugene Delacroix
I believe it safe to say that all progress must lead, not to further progress, but finally to the negation of progress, a return to the point of departure.
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
Do all the work you can that is the whole philosophy of the good way of life.
Eugene Delacroix
As for the ridiculous fear of making things below one's potential abilities... No, there is the root of the evil. There is the hiding place of stupidity I must attack: vain mortal, you are limited by nothing.
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
Nature creates unity even in the parts of a whole.
Eugene Delacroix
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
One must learn to be grateful for one's own findings.
Eugene Delacroix
The things one experiences alone with oneself are very much stronger and purer.
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
It is only possible to speak in the language and in the spirit of one's time.
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
Glory to that Homer of painting, to that father of warmth and enthusiasm... he really paints men.
Eugene Delacroix
