Hilaire-Germain-Edgar de Gas, más conocido como Edgar Degas , fue un pintor y escultor francés.

Considerado uno de los fundadores del Impresionismo, aunque él mismo rechazaba el nombre y prefería llamarlo realismo o arte realista,[1]​ Degas fue uno de los grandes dibujantes de la historia por su magistral captación de las sensaciones de vida y movimiento, especialmente en sus obras de bailarinas, carreras de caballos y desnudos. Sus retratos son muy apreciados por la complejidad psicológica y sensación de verdad que transmiten.[2]​ Wikipedia

posthumous quotes, The Shop-Talk of Edgar Degas', (1961)

“In the office there are about fifteen people whose attention is directed toward a table covered with the costly fabric [raw cotton]; one man is bent over the table and another is sort of seating on it – the buyer and the broker are discussing a sample. A painting of a vernacular subject, if there is such a thing, and I think by a better hand than most others (a size 40 canvas, I think). I'm planning another less complicated and more surprising yet, better art, in which everyone is in summer dress, the walls white, and a sea of cotton on the tables. (translation based on M. Kay's, in M. Gérin [ed. ] and M. Kay, transl. 'Degas letters', Oxford, 1947, pp. 29-30, no. 2”

“It is very good to copy what one sees; it is much better to draw what you can't see any more but is in your memory. It is a transformation in which imagination and memory work together. You only reproduce what struck you, that is to say the necessary.”

Edgar Degas

C'est très bien de copier ce qu'on voit, c'est beaucoup mieux de dessiner ce que l'on ne voit plus que dans son mémoire. C'est une transformation pendant laquelle l'ingéniosité collabore avec la mémoire. Vous ne reproduisez que ce qui vous a frappé, c'est-à-dire le nécessaire.
Quoted in Maurice Sérullaz, L'univers de Degas (H. Scrépel, 1979), p. 13
quotes, undated

“A man is an artist only at certain moments, by an effort of will. Objects have the same appearance for everybody.”
