Degas' Drawings

by H.G.E. Degas and Hilaire G. Degas

Book Overview

French artist Hilaire Germaine Edgar Degas (1834-1917) is best known for his studies of the human figure, his ballet dancers, his portraits, and his occupational groups. In his drawings, Degas' working methods can be seen and studied, and his always-human figures can be enjoyed as much as in the finished works -- if not more.
Reproduced in this book are 100 of Degas' drawings, including eight in full color. They range from early studies to portraits...

What can be said about Degas

This is one of my favorite Dover art books. It conatins a huge amount of drawings done by Degas. Some of which are hard to find in other books because they were taken from a private collection. If you love Degas, then you must purchase this book. It is excellent.
