More quotes by Eugene Delacroix
Curiously enough, the Sublime is generally achieved through want of proportion.
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
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
If you are not skillful enough to sketch a man jumping out of a window in the time it takes him to fall from the fourth storey to the ground, you will never be able to produce great works.
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
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
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
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
Painters who are not colorists produce illumination, not painting.
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
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
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
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
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
One should not be too difficult. An artist should not treat himself like an enemy.
Eugene Delacroix
Give me some mud, and I will paint you a woman's flesh.
Eugene Delacroix
A taste for simplicity cannot last for long.
Eugene Delacroix
A picture is nothing but a bridge between the soul of the artist and that of the spectator.
Eugene Delacroix
Mythological subjects always new. Modern subjects difficult because of the absence of the nude and the wretchedness of modern costume.
Eugene Delacroix
