Quote

God is that inner presence which makes us admire the beautiful and consoles us for not sharing the happiness of the wicked.

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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Glory to that Homer of painting, to that father of warmth and enthusiasm... he really paints men.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
A taste for simplicity cannot last for long.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
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
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
The things one experiences alone with oneself are very much stronger and purer.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
A wife of your own stature is the greatest of all blessings.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
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
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
Nature creates unity even in the parts of a whole.
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
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
Image
Even when we look at nature, our imagination constructs the picture.
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
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
Do all the work you can that is the whole philosophy of the good way of life.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
One should not be too difficult. An artist should not treat himself like an enemy.
