Zitat des Tages von Edgar Degas:
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.
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it's charming.
Everyone has talent at twenty-five. The difficulty is to have it at fifty.
One must do the same subject over again ten times, a hundred times. In art nothing must resemble an accident, not even movement.
