More quotes by Eugene Delacroix
Nature creates unity even in the parts of a whole.
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
What makes sovereign ugliness are our conventions.
Eugene Delacroix
A wife of your own stature is the greatest of all blessings.
Eugene Delacroix
A picture is nothing but a bridge between the soul of the artist and that of the spectator.
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
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
Give me some mud, and I will paint you a woman's flesh.
Eugene Delacroix
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
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
A taste for simplicity cannot last for long.
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
Cold exactitude is not art ingenious artifice, when it pleases or when it expresses, is art itself.
Eugene Delacroix
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
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
Talent does whatever it wants to do. Genius does only what it can.
Eugene Delacroix
Do all the work you can that is the whole philosophy of the good way of life.
Eugene Delacroix
We work not only to produce, but to give value to time.
Eugene Delacroix
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
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
