Edgar Degas (Tiny Folios)

A compact survey of Degass art from early portraits to late nudes and bathers. Edgar Degas (1834-1917), a founding member of the Impressionist movement, was one of the groups most original and independent artists. This Tiny Folio TM offers insight into the themes and preoccupations that make his paintings, sculptures, and brilliant pastels so well-loved today. As sublime as it is thorough, this survey of Degass life and art illustrates his famous and perceptive portraits, his enchanting pictures of Parisian life, his beloved and popular racehorse scenes, his late nudes and bathers, and his celebrated depictions of the opera and ballet.
