Titles in Collection & Description
Discover the fascinating life and artistic career of Edgar Degas with Biographic: Degas, a visually engaging biography from the innovative Great Lives in Graphic Form series. Combining fascinating facts with colourful infographics, timelines, maps and diagrams, this book offers a fresh and entertaining way to explore the artist behind some of the world''s most recognisable paintings and sculptures.
Edgar Degas (1834–1917) was a celebrated French artist and a leading figure of Impressionism, best known for his captivating paintings, drawings and sculptures of ballet dancers. His fascination with movement and everyday life produced some of the most distinctive images of the era.
But there is much more to Degas than his famous dancers.
Biographic: Degas presents 50 defining facts, dates, thoughts, habits and achievements from his life and work in vivid visual snapshots. Discover that by his mid-twenties, Degas had created more than 700 copies of works by other artists, and that he produced around 1,500 studies of ballet dancers. One of these works sold for more than £17 million in 1999.
Degas was also fascinated by sculpture. Although he exhibited just one sculpture during his lifetime, around 150 wax figures were discovered in his studio after his death.
Through timelines, maps, diagrams and visual comparisons, this engaging biography reveals the techniques, interests and personality behind Degas''s remarkable artistic career.
