In every art we are always obliged to return to the accepted means of expression, the conventional language of the art. What is a black-and-white drawing but a convention to which the beholder has become so accustomed that with his mind's eye he sees a complete equivalent in the translation from nature?

Mythological subjects always new. Modern subjects difficult because of the absence of the nude and the wretchedness of modern costume.

Curiously enough, the Sublime is generally achieved through want of proportion.

Weaknesses in men of genius ar...

Weaknesses in men of genius are usually an exaggeration of their personal feeling; in the hands of feeble imitators they become the most flagrant blunders. Entire schools have been founded on misinterpretations of certain aspects of the masters. Lamentable mistakes have resulted from the thoughtless enthusiasm with which men have sought inspiration from the worst qualities of remarkable artists because they are unable to reproduce the sublime elements in their work.

The contour should come last, only a very experienced eye can place it rightly.

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.

If you are not skillful enough...

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.

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 111 quotes

The outcome of my days is alwa...

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.

The source of genius is imagination alone.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

The source of genius is imagin...

The source of genius is imagination alone, the refinement of the senses that sees what others do not see, or sees them differently.

We work not only to produce, but to give value to time.

Of which beauty will you speak...

Of which beauty will you speak? There are many: there are a thousand: there is one for every look, for every spirit, adapted to each taste, to each particular constitution.

What makes sovereign ugliness are our conventions.

The so-called conscientiousness of the majority of painters is only perfection applied to the art of boring.
