Description
Discovering Degas: Collecting in the Time of William Burrell explores the influence of London-based dealers and Glasgow-based dealer Alex Reid on the market for French art in Britain, encouraging an early following among British collectors for artists such as Monet, Pissarro, Manet and Degas. This book accompanies a major exhibition at the Burrell Collection, featuring all of William Burrell's Degas pictures together for the first time, along with important works from national and international collections. The book delves into the talent of Edgar Degas, capturing subjects such as the ballet, racehorses, and women bathing and dressing. Detailed catalogue entries provide a greater insight into why British collectors in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries purchased these enduringly appealing works. The exhibition at the Burrell Collection offers a unique opportunity to appreciate the significance of Degas's art in this context. With over 20 of Degas's works collected by William Burrell, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the artist's work and its reception in Britain during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
