Degas

The Swiss art historian Edouard Hüttinger has provided an exhaustive study of Degas' complex art, analyzing with equal care its historical significance and its surprising modernity. The illustrations selected comprise a graphic cross-section of the artist's work. Famous paintings are supplemented by less familiar works; some are reproduced in color here for the first time. This is a book which encompasses all aspects of the life and work of this great French painter.
