Description
Edgar Degas Drawings and Pastels by Christopher Lloyd offers a comprehensive exploration of the artist's style and life through an examination of his drawings and pastels. Spanning over half of Degas's total oeuvre, these works showcase his fascination with dancers, nudes, laundresses, milliners, and other subjects. The book delves into Degas's career, from his early days copying the Old Masters to learn his craft, to his later work in 1912, when he ceased due to failing eyesight. Through extensive research, including a study of the artist's detailed notebooks, Lloyd presents over 200 pencil, black-chalk, pen-and-ink, and charcoal drawings and pastels that demonstrate Degas's unique artistic vision. By placing Degas within the artistic context of his time, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the artist's development and contributions to modern art.
