"One must do the same subject over again ten times, a hundred times. In art nothing must resemble an accident, not even movement."

-Edgar Degas

Why should we care?Learn

Example

Inspiration

Admiration

Determination

We should care about history and people of the past because they can teach us things. We can learn from their mistakes and achievements. We can get inspired from people like, Edgar Degas. He gave the French or European people the example to be unique, to be ourselves, to be a leader not a follower. I think he also left us the example, not to accept the wrong perception someone can have about you.
