Edgar Degas Draw Quotations

I always urged my contemporaries to look for interest and inspiration to the development and study of drawing, but they would not listen. They thought the road to salvation lay by the way of colour.

I don't admit that a woman draws that well!

Drawing is not the same as form, it is a way of seeing form.

Make a drawing. Start it all over again, trace it. Start it and trace it again.
