Description

The Burrell Collection in Glasgow houses more than twenty paintings, pastels, and drawings by Edgar Degas (1834–1917) that come with his most recognisable motifs: ballet dancers, bathers, jockeys, and women at work. Along with a selection of the National Gallery’s oils and pastels, they represent each and every stage of Degas’s career. The authors show how the immediacy of these works is enhanced by the artist’s lively technique. These don’t seem to be such a lot spontaneous sketches as daring experiments in form and color. Essays explore Degas’s innovative use of pastels; his career and the ongoing critical assessment of his art; and the life and milieu of his up to date Sir William Burrell, the rich Scottish shipping magnate and philanthropist, for whom forming this impressive collection of Degas’s works was once an bizarre foray into up to date art.
