Edgar Degas (1834-1917) masterfully depicted ballerinas, racehorses, and the street life of 19th-century Paris. He painted in Italy and New Orleans, each place influencing his art. He was a founder of the Impressionist movement, yet refused to be defined by it and held himself apart. Degas was an enigma and one of the great artists of his time.

About the Artist, Edgar Degas
About the Artist, Edgar Degas
Edgar Degas (1834—1917) was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker who was prominent in the Impressionist group and widely celebrated for his images of Parisian life. Degas’s principal subject was the human—especially the female—figure, which he explored in works ranging from the somber portraits of his early years to the studies of laundresses, cabaret singers, milliners, and prostitutes of his Impressionist period. Ballet dancers and women at their toilette would preoccupy him throughout his career.
