Color pictures galore!, December 31, 1999
This review is from: Degas: Impressions of a Great Master (The Impressionists) (Hardcover)
Smithmark Publishers has created a great high quality book; high quality paper and great color pictures. Most of the pictures are large format; none of that custom of 20 pictures to a page! The main sections are: a 14 page introduction with a fair amount of biographical information for a picture book; a family and friends section covering his trips to New Orleans and Italy; an "outer World" section that covers his horse racing paintings,the milliner shop and women at work paintings. The last two sections are quite large; his theater and dance paintings and his bather paintings. A very nice picture of his "Little Dancer Aged Fourteen" sculpture is included. In summary, you won't be an expert on Degas life after reading this book,; but, you'll have a great appreciation of his works. Most, if not all of his more famous paintings are in the book, but few of his lesser known works.
