The Studies of Degas
Posted on May 10th, 2009 by Scott Allen
Edgar Degas was a private man who scorned publicity, yet his sketches to achieve understanding made him stand out as one of the finest artists of the 19th century. Even though I’m not the biggest fan of his dancers, his studies replicate the same impressive techniques used by classical masters.
