Eugene Delacroix Quotes

Real beauty in the arts is eternal and would be accepted at all periods; but it wears the dress of its century: something of that dress clings to it, and woe to the works which appear in periods when the general taste is corrupted Picture Quote #1

I am carrying out my plan, so long formulated, of keeping a journal. What I most keenly wish is not to forget that I am writing for myself alone. Thus I shall always tell the truth, I hope, and thus I shall improve myself. These pages will reproach me for my changes of mind Picture Quote #1

The more an object is polished or brilliant, the less you see its own color and the more it becomes a mirror reflecting the color of its surroundings Picture Quote #1

Remember the enemy of all painting is gray: a painting will almost always appear grayer than it is, on account of its oblique position under the light Picture Quote #1

Not only can color, which is under fixed laws, be taught like music, but it is easier to learn than drawing, whose elaborate principles cannot be taught Picture Quote #1

Criticism is like many other things, it drags along after what has already been said and doesn’t get out of its rut Picture Quote #1

Finishing a painting demands a heart of steel: everything requires a decision, and I find difficulties where I least expect them... It is at such moments that one fully realizes one’s own weaknesses Picture Quote #1

Experience alone can give, even to the greatest talent, that confidence in having done all that could be done Picture Quote #1

As for the ridiculous fear of making things below one’s potential abilities... No, there is the root of the evil. There is the hiding place of stupidity I must attack: vain mortal, you are limited by nothing Picture Quote #1
