Edgar degas new orleans
Edgar Degas belonged to the founder generation of the Impressionists However as opposed to the other painters in the group he never submitted himself to the idea of communal work He did not place nature and the landscape in the fore front of his work but instead chose the figure He refused to work out of doors and preferred the seclusion of his studio Light one of the basic elements if Impressionist painting only plays a subordinate role in his pictures However he was one of the great figures in this epoch and for posterity a well love artist whose dancers are known all over the world There has been an increased interest in his work in the last decades although attention has been diverted to different areas of his oeuvre This book attempts to correspond to this new outlook with clear texts and excellent picture reproductions Edgar Degas.
