Description
This strikingly gorgeous book-the primary to concentrate on Degas` past due work-presents a brand new and definitive view of his last decades. Degas played an integral role in reshaping the visual arts on the flip of the century, says Richard Kendall. The artist`s outstanding drawings, pastels, oil paintings, and sculptures involve startling explorations of color, sudden combinations of technique and media, and an intensive reexamination of the human physique.
