Women can never forgive me; t...

Women can never forgive me; they hate me, they feel that I am disarming them. I show them without their coquetry.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

One must have a high opinion ...

One must have a high opinion of a work of art - not the work one is creating at the moment, but of that which one desires to achieve one day. Without this it is not worthwhile working.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

the moods of sadness that come over anyone who takes up art... these dismal moods have very little compensation.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

The air you breathe in a pict...

The air you breathe in a picture is not necessarily the same as the air out of doors.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

Nothing in art should seem ac...

Nothing in art should seem accidental, not even movement

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

It is people's movement that consoles us. If the leaves of a tree did not move, how sad would be the tree - and so should we.

It seems to me that today if the artist wishes to be serious... he must once more sink himself in solitude.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

For those who don't know what they are doing, painting is easy.
For those who do know what they are doing, painting is difficult.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

A painting requires a little ...

A painting requires a little mystery, some vagueness, and some fantasy. When you always make your meaning perfectly plain you end up boring people.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

I have been, or seemed, hard ...

I have been, or seemed, hard with everyone because I was carried away by a sort of brutality born of my distrust in myself and my ill-humor. I have felt so badly equipped, so soft, in spite of the fact that my attitude towards art seemed to me so just. I was disgusted with everyone, and especially myself.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

Art is vice. You don't marry ...

Art is vice. You don't marry it legitimately, you rape it.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

One reproduces only that whic...

One reproduces only that which is striking; that is to say, the necessary. Thus, one's recollections and inventions are liberated from the tyranny which nature exerts.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

I frequently lock myself in my studio. I do not often see the people I love, and in the end I shall suffer for it... painting is one's private life.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

Make portraits of people in typical, familiar poses, being sure above all to give their faces the same kind of expression as their bodies.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

Make people's portraits in familiar and typical attitudes.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

Do portraits of people in familiar and typical attitudes, above all give to their face the same choice of expression that one gives to their body.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

If I could have had my own way...

If I could have had my own way, I would have confined myself to black and white.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

There is love, and there is work; and we have only one heart.

One does not marry art. One ravishes it.
