Roy McMullen presents a vivid portrait of the artist — from his bourgeois Parisian upbringing to his relentless dedication to capturing movement, light, and human form across paintings, pastels, and sculptures. The work situates Degas within his cultural and historical moment, illustrating his complex relationships with fellow artists such as Manet and his uneasy place within the Impressionist circle. McMullen uncovers the private contradictions of the man behind the masterpieces — his misanthropy, his fierce independence, and his obsessive perfectionism — bringing nuance and authority to one of art history's most compelling figures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887970201819,"sku":"2026200007045-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a2b21fc3-fb81-4819-ae3a-c6db14b90db2.png?v=1781751387","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007045-secondhand-degas-his-life-times-and-work","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
