A landmark work in art history and criticism, Jean Bouret's Degas presents a comprehensive and authoritative study of one of the nineteenth century's most innovative and enigmatic painters. Bouret chronicles the life and artistic evolution of Edgar Degas, tracing his journey from his academic beginnings to his revolutionary depictions of Parisian life — from the luminous world of the ballet and the racetrack to the intimate scenes of café society and the female nude. Written with scholarly rigor yet an accessible, appreciative tone, the text illuminates Degas's mastery of line, movement, and light, and argues for his singular place within — and apart from — the Impressionist movement. Rich with analysis of individual works, it details the technical innovations and psychological depth that set Degas apart from his contemporaries, making this volume an essential reference for collectors, students, and admirers of French art alike.
