More quotes by Eugene Delacroix

Image
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
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
A picture is nothing but a bridge between the soul of the artist and that of the spectator.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
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
Image
Talent does whatever it wants to do. Genius does only what it can.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
If one considered life as a simple loan, one would perhaps be less exacting. We possess actually nothing everything goes through us.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
When a thing bores you, do not do it.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
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
Image
Mythological subjects always new. Modern subjects difficult because of the absence of the nude and the wretchedness of modern costume.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
Glory to that Homer of painting, to that father of warmth and enthusiasm... he really paints men.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
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
The things one experiences alone with oneself are very much stronger and purer.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
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
Image
We work not only to produce, but to give value to time.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
Curiously enough, the Sublime is generally achieved through want of proportion.
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
Nature creates unity even in the parts of a whole.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
To be understood a writer has to explain almost everything.
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.
