'Painting is very easy
when you don't know how.
When you do know,
it is very difficult.'
Edgar Degas
(1834 - 1917)
The original quote is in French of course:
'La peinture, c’est très facile
quand vous ne savez pas comment faire.
Quand vous le savez, c’est très difficile.'
DEGAS was the working title the Ministry used when the decision was made to establish this council. We looked up the painter and found this description:
If you wish you can enter the DEGAS library and/or the viewing room, which contains a few third-party videos, via the Publications page.
'Though in retrospect Degas is often referred to as an impressionist, he considered himself a realist, illuminating his notion that reality often lies beyond what the eye can perceive.'
This seemed to be rather relevant to what we intended to do. When we also came across a relevant quote from Degas himself -see the header of this site- we decided DEGAS would remain our name.
