Edgar Degas, 1834-1917 : on the dance floor of modernity

Growe, Bernd2016
Books, Manuscripts
In terms of both theme and technique, the key to understanding the early work of Edgar Degas is classical painting. Although he was eventually associated with the Impressionists and even participated in their joint exhibitions, Degas never adopted a purely Impressionist approach. Degas's work, reflecting an extremely personal and psychological perspective, emphasizes the scenic or concentrates on the detail. Thus, Degas's painting is often discussed with reference to the rise of short-exposure photography.
