The numerous iterations of compositions and poses suggest an intense self-discipline, as well as a refusal to accept any creative solution as definitive or finite. Published in the centenary year of the artist's death, this book presents an exceptional array of Degas's work, including paintings, drawings, pastels, etchings, monotypes, counter proofs, and sculpture, with approximately sixty key works from private and public collections in Europe and the United States, some of them published here for the first time. Shown together, the impressive works represent well over half a century of innovation and artistic production. Essays by leading Degas scholars and conservation scientists explore his practice and recurring themes of the human figure and landscape. The book opens with a study of Degas's debt to the Old Masters, and it concludes with a consideration of his artistic legacy and his influence on leading artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, including Francis Bacon, Frank Auerbach, Ryan Gander, David Hockney, Howard Hodgkin, R. B. Kitaj, Pablo Picasso, and Walter Sickert. 600 10 $a Degas, Edgar, $d 1834-1917 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Degas, Edgar, $d 1834-1917. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00032029 600 17 $a Degas, Edgar, $d 1834-1917. $0 (DE-588)118524291 $2 gnd 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Munro, Jane, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n92007448 710 2 $a Fitzwilliam Museum, $e host institution. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81041657 710 2 $a Denver Art Museum, $e host institution. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79055441 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217025355.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180605013742.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FE1E95ACFCE711E799AF106097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
