Part of a series featuring the work of famous artists, this book deals with Degas. Each volume in the series presents 20 of the most popular paintings of the artist, with captions. Other artists featured in this miniature series include Monet, Renoir, Seurat and van Gogh. Though he is perhaps best known for his dramatic portrayals of ballerinas, Edgar Degas drew inspiration from everything around him to create a compelling body of work. His rich and memorable paintings inspired his contemporaries and generations of painters who followed. This volume tells his life story through a sumptuous selection of 140 full-colour reproductions of his most famous work. Cafe nightlife, a day at the races, and the fluid motions of a dancer’s body are just some of the subjects captured in this portfolio of the artist’s work, ranging from early portraits to final sculptures. This book on an artist who inspired many of his contemporaries as well as future generations of painters is a must for all lovers of art and art history.
