Degas: Pastels
by Alfred Werner
large softcover in good used condition
Here is the finest collection of Degas pastels ever to appear in book form: 32 superb paintings, magnificently reproduced with extraordinary fidelity to the originals. Although Degas worked in many painting and drawing media, his pastels are generally regarded as his most revolutionary and important contribution. In pastels he conducted radical experiments in color and texture that made him a significant influence on twentieth-century painting, a precursor of expressionism in the violence of his color, his distortions of space and proportion, his unorthodox lighting and composition, and his highly personal vision of the human figure. Each pastel is analyzed for historical content, background, and method, with detailed captions of interest to all who admire Degas. The text concludes with an illuminating chronology of the artist's life.
