Description
Edgar Degas: A Unique Style Edgar Degas was a complex artist who defied easy categorization. His style was influenced by Old Masters, the body in motion, and everyday urban life, setting him apart from his contemporaries. As the elder scion of a wealthy family, Degas was drawn to the teeming streets of Paris and its leisure entertainments, such as horse racing and cabarets. Degas' subjects centered on the physicality and discipline of dance, with images of ballerinas numbering approximately 1,500 works. His bold compositions and fascination with movement produced some of the most striking works of the era. This book provides an overview of the artist who created a unique category, one characterized by classical resonance and endless fascination with movement. Through illustrations of Foyer de la Danse and Musicians in the Orchestra, among others, this book offers a glimpse into Degas' world. With its unique blend of style and subject matter, this book is an essential introduction to the artist who left an indelible mark on the art world.
