Get a glimpse into the life and work of painter sculptor and printmaker Edgar Degas who is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism. Best known for his depictions of young dancers on the stage and in the studio Degas was an accomplished draughtsman and portraitist of superb emotional depth. Much of his work eschewed bright colors and spontaneity for carefully studied interiors and scenes of daily life. This book explores the full range of Degas s work from his celebrated paintings of dancers and depictions of cafe life to his pencil sketches and wax and bronze sculptures. Stunning reproductions help readers understand many aspects of Degas s oeuvre such as his gift for capturing movement the ways he drew inspiration from Japanese prints and Old Masters and his experiments with color and form. A biographical text traces Degas s life from his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts and his early history paintings to his friendships with Cassatt and Manet his reliance on painting dancers to keep him financially afloat and his lonely final days in Paris. Accessible and engaging this exploration of Degas s life and art looks beyond his well-known works to reveal a talented and complicated genius.
