More quotes by Eugene Delacroix
Even when we look at nature, our imagination constructs the picture.
Eugene Delacroix
Nature creates unity even in the parts of a whole.
Eugene Delacroix
Give me some mud, and I will paint you a woman's flesh.
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
Glory to that Homer of painting, to that father of warmth and enthusiasm... he really paints men.
Eugene Delacroix
The things one experiences alone with oneself are very much stronger and purer.
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
A picture is nothing but a bridge between the soul of the artist and that of the spectator.
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
One must learn to be grateful for one's own findings.
Eugene Delacroix
It is only possible to speak in the language and in the spirit of one's time.
Eugene Delacroix
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
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
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
A wife of your own stature is the greatest of all blessings.
Eugene Delacroix
Curiously enough, the Sublime is generally achieved through want of proportion.
Eugene Delacroix
Cold exactitude is not art ingenious artifice, when it pleases or when it expresses, is art itself.
Eugene Delacroix
When a thing bores you, do not do it.
Eugene Delacroix
Painters who are not colorists produce illumination, not painting.
Eugene Delacroix
