Truth is never ugly when one can find in it what one needs.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

One reproduces only that which...

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

Once they witnessed one of his painting sold at auction for $100,000. And asked how you do it, he said, 'I feel as a horse must feel when the beautiful cup is given to the jockey.'

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

People call me the painter of ...

People call me the painter of dancers, but I really wish to capture movement itself.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

And even this heart of mine ha...

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.

I want to be famous but unknown!

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

So that's the telephone? They ...

So that's the telephone? They ring, and you run.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

Art is vice. One does not wed it, one rapes it.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

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

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

What is certain is that setting a piece of nature in place and drawing it are two very different things.

I really have a lot of stuff in my head; if only there were insurance companies for that as there are for so many things.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

You have to have a high conception, not of what you are doing, but of what you may do one day: without that, there's no point in working.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

I'm glad I haven't found my style yet. I'd be bored to death.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

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

I would have been in mortal misery all my life for fear my wife might say, 'That's a pretty little thing,' after I had finished a picture.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

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

An artist must approach his work in the spirit of the criminal about to commit a crime.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

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

A picture is a thing which req...

A picture is a thing which requires as much knavery, as much malice, and as much vice as the perpetration of a crime. Make it untrue and add an accent of truth.

Edgar Degas 108 quotes

Make people's portraits in familiar and typical attitudes.
