More quotes by 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
Commonplace people have an answer for everything and nothing ever surprises them. They try to look as though they knew what you were about to say better than you did yourself, and when it is their turn to speak, they repeat with great assurance something that they have heard other people say, as though it were their own invention.
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
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
Painters who are not colorists produce illumination, not painting.
Eugene Delacroix
A wife of your own stature is the greatest of all blessings.
Eugene Delacroix
Mythological subjects always new. Modern subjects difficult because of the absence of the nude and the wretchedness of modern costume.
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
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
A taste for simplicity cannot last for long.
Eugene Delacroix
In abandoning the vagueness of the sketch the artist shows more of his personality by revealing the range but also the limitations of his talent.
Eugene Delacroix
Cold exactitude is not art ingenious artifice, when it pleases or when it expresses, is art itself.
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
What makes sovereign ugliness are our conventions.
Eugene Delacroix
Give me some mud, and I will paint you a woman's flesh.
Eugene Delacroix
One should not be too difficult. An artist should not treat himself like an enemy.
Eugene Delacroix
We work not only to produce, but to give value to time.
Eugene Delacroix
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.
Eugene Delacroix
The source of genius is imagination alone, the refinement of the senses that sees what others do not see, or sees them differently.
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
