Reviews

[Glenn Robinson]

Very large coffee table size bio of Degas that covers his entire life with wonderful examples of his stages and interests. Not too deep, not too shallow....

This book showcases Edgar Degas's genius and his mastery of capturing the human body in motion. I'm particularly fond of his paintings of horses and ballet dancers. I admire his composition and color choices. Having seen many of his works in person, I'm grateful, as he is one of my favorite French Impressionists.

Really nice coffee-table book for those that love impressionism and Dega
