EDGAR DEGAS (MASTERPIECES OF ART) (HB)

Edgar Degas was famous for his drawing, painting, sculpture and printmaking. Although a member of the Impressionists, his work focused on indoor subjects, particularly his acutely observed pieces on ballerinas. His masterful studies of real life resonate still today and he remains one of the most popular painters in the world. This book showcases all his major works (including Ballet Rehearsal, The Star and The Ballet Class), with detailed captions, and an essay on his life, art and influences.
