Edgar Degas (1834-1917)

“Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.”

“It is all very well to copy what one sees, but it is far better to draw what one now only sees in one’s memory. That is a transformation in which imagination collaborates with memory.”


Quotes by Edgar Degas, (The Millinery Shop, 1885)
