Edgar Degas Quotes


A French artist famous for his work in painting, sculpture, printmaking and drawing.
Edgar Degas (19 July 1834 – 27 September 1917), born Hilaire-Germain-Edgar De Gas, was a French artist famous for his work in painting, sculpture, printmaking and drawing. He is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism although he rejected the term, and preferred to be called a realist. A superb draughtsman, he is especially identified with the subject of the dance, and over half his works depict dancers. These display his mastery in the depiction of movement, as do his racecourse subjects and female nudes. His portraits are notable for their psychological complexity and depiction of human isolation.

Here are some famous quotes by Edgar Degas.

Art isn't something you marry it's something you rape.

Painting is easy when you don't know how but very difficult when you do.
