This review is from: Degas: An Intimate Portrait (Paperback)
After reading this book it felt as though it left a bitter taste. If I had the choice of reading this book again, I wouldn't. It is sour boring with the potential of being a master piece. I hate to give such a poor review to such a talented artist, but Ambroise Vollard just didn't capture the feeling I was looking for when I picked up this book. Bottom line, great artist, interesting topic but written in a hardcore stiff mannar that recieves a poor rating.
