"A picture is a thing which requires as muchknavery, as much malice, and as much vice
as the perpetration of a crime. Make it
untrue and add an accent of truth."

A Thought for Thursday
I'm not sure I entirely buy the premise of this quote from the painter Edgar Degas (1834-1917), but it's an interesting notion nonetheless:
"A picture is a thing which requires as much
knavery, as much malice, and as much vice
as the perpetration of a crime. Make it
untrue and add an accent of truth."
"A picture is a thing which requires as muchknavery, as much malice, and as much vice
as the perpetration of a crime. Make it
untrue and add an accent of truth."
