Degas - And the Nude
The nude figure was critical to the art of Edgar Degas throughout his life, and yet frequently his expansive body of work on this subject has been overshadowed by his celebrated portraits and dancers. Degas and the Nude provides a new interpretation of Degas' evolving conception of the nude, situating it in the subject's broader context among his peers in nineteenth-century France. Including essays by leading American and French critics and containing over 200 lushly rendered full-colour images this book presents a re-seeing of Degas' subject in paintings, pastels, drawings, prints and sculpture.
