The more an object is polished...

The more an object is polished or brilliant, the less you see its own color and the more it becomes a mirror reflecting the color of its surroundings.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

Remember the enemy of all pain...

Remember the enemy of all painting is gray: a painting will almost always appear grayer than it is, on account of its oblique position under the light.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

Not only can color, which is u...

Not only can color, which is under fixed laws, be taught like music, but it is easier to learn than drawing, whose elaborate principles cannot be taught.

Cold exactitude is not art... ...

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.

Criticism is like many other t...

Criticism is like many other things, it drags along after what has already been said and doesn't get out of its rut.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

Finishing a painting demands a heart of steel: everything requires a decision, and I find difficulties where I least expect them... It is at such moments that one fully realizes one's own weaknesses.

One should not be too difficult. An artist should not treat himself like an enemy.

Experience alone can give, even to the greatest talent, that confidence in having done all that could be done.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

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...

A fine suggestion, a sketch with great feeling, can be as expressive as the most finished product.

Give me some mud, and I will paint you a woman's flesh.

One must learn to be grateful for one's own findings.

What I have done cannot be taken from me.

If painters left nothing of themselves after their deaths, so that we were obliged to rank them as we do actors according to the judgment of their contemporaries, how different their reputations would be from what posterity has made them!

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

It is often we come the closest to the essence of an artist... in his or her pocket notebooks and travel sketchbooks... where written comments and personal notes provide an intimate insight into the magical mind of a working artist.

It is only possible to speak in the language and in the spirit of one's time.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

In abandoning the vagueness of the sketch the artist shows more of his personality by revealing the range but also the limitations of his talent.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

I go to work as others rush to see their mistresses, and when I leave, I take back with me to my solitude, or in the midst of the distractions that I pursue, a charming memory that does not in the least resemble the troubled pleasure of lovers.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

The only ones who can really benefit by consulting the model are those who can produce their effect without a model.
