There is no such thing as Intelligence; one has intelligence of this or that. One must have intelligence only for what one is doing.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

The Dance instills in you something that sets you apart. Something heroic and remote.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

Art' is the same word as 'art...

Art' is the same word as 'artifice,' that is to say, something deceitful. It must succeed in giving the impression of nature by false means.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

Conversation in real life is ...

Conversation in real life is full of half-finished sentences and overlapping talk. Why shouldn't painting be too?

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

You must aim high, not in wha...

You must aim high, not in what you are going to do at some future date, but in what you are going to make yourself do to-day. Otherwise, working is just a waste of time.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

The fascinating thing, is not...

The fascinating thing, is not to show the source of light, but the effect of light.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

What use is my mind? Granted ...

What use is my mind? Granted that it enables me to hail a bus and to pay my fare. But once I am inside my studio, what use is my mind? I have my model, my pencil, my paints. My mind doesn't interest me.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

Your pictures would have been...

Your pictures would have been finished a long time ago if I were not forced every day to do something to earn money.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

The museums are here to teach...

The museums are here to teach the history of art and something more as well, for, if they stimulate in the weak a desire to imitate, they furnish the strong with the means of their emancipation.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

Only two of my personalities ...

Only two of my personalities are schizophrenic, but one of them is paranoid and the other one is out to get him. Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

Hitherto the nude has always ...

Hitherto the nude has always been represented in poses which presuppose an audience. But my women are simple, honest creatures who are concerned with nothing beyond their physical occupations... it is as if you were looking through a keyhole.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

Instantaneity is photography....

Instantaneity is photography.

I feel as a horse must feel when the beautiful cup is given to the jockey.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

And even this heart of mine has something artificial. The dancers have sewn it into a bag of pink satin, pink satin slightly faded, like their dancing shoes.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

Muses work all day long and then at night get together and dance.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it's charming.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

My art, what do you want to s...

My art, what do you want to say about it? Do you think you can explain the merits of a picture to those who do not see them? . . . I can find the best and clearest words to explain my meaning, and I have spoken to the most intelligent people about art, and they have not understood; but among people who understand, words are not necessary, you say humph, he, ha and everything has been said.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

It is all very well to copy what one sees, but it is far better to draw what one now only sees in one's memory. That is a transformation in which imagination collaborates with memory.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

One must do the same subject ...

One must do the same subject over again ten times, a hundred times. In art nothing must resemble an accident, not even movement.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

Make a drawing. Start it all ...

Make a drawing. Start it all over again, trace it. Start it and trace it again.
