Description

Edgar Degas Drawings and Pastels by Christopher Lloyd This comprehensive monograph explores the life and work of Edgar Degas, one of the 19th century's most outstanding draughtsmen. Through a chronological approach, Lloyd examines the development of Degas's style and the story of his life, including his relationship with the Impressionists. The book delves into Degas's diverse subject areas, including dancers, nudes, milliners, and landscapes, as well as his lesser-known racehorse and charcoal drawings. Lloyd's extensive research, based on the artist's detailed notebooks, reveals over 250 pencil, black-chalk, pen-and-ink, and charcoal drawings and pastels of timeless appeal. By setting Degas within the artistic context of the period, Lloyd provides a nuanced understanding of the artist's career, from his early days copying the Old Masters to his final works in 1912, brought to an end by failing eyesight.
