Degas: His Life and Works in 500 Images

Edgar Degas was the most psychologically acute of the Impressionists — the painter who captured the backstage reality of the Paris ballet, the exhaustion of the laundress, the absorption of the café-concert audience — with a visual intelligence that went beyond the Impressionist interest in light to something more like the interest of a novelist in character and situation. This life and works volume presents all five hundred major works alongside the biographical material that places them in the context of Degas’s extraordinary career. Published by Lorenz Books.
