DEGAS, Edgar

1834 Paris – 1917 Paris. Impressionism

Degas came from a cosmopolitan, well-to-do family. His work was suffused by a very personal kind of pshychological observation and a profound interest in modern life.
His themes always deal with people and city life; raw nature did not inspire him. He was particularly fond of dancers-street and city scenes, and the femal nude. From 1862 onwards he liked to present a subject repeatedly, looking at it from various angels and aspects. From 1880 he began to work in pastel, developing his technique and finding new applications. Degas produced a great number of lithographs, drawings, engravings and monotypes.
From 1909 failing eyesight caused him to turn to sculpture, leaving many wax models of dancers, horses and female nudes to be cast in bronze after his death.
