This book explores the life and work of Edgar Degas, the acclaimed French artist. It traces his artistic journey, from early historical scenes to his innovative portrayals of everyday reality, including dancers and instrumentalists.
The book illuminates Degas's artistic philosophy, influenced by both classical masters and the emerging modernism of his time. It considers his engagement with Impressionism and his unique approach to capturing movement and emotion. With a wealth of illustrations, including colour plates, the book provides a comprehensive overview of Degas's work and his place within the artistic landscape of the 19th century. It also delves into his personality, revealing the complexities behind his sometimes-austere facade.
