Editorial Reviews

Degas was a complex man and an unorthodox artist. Especially controversial was his treatment of women as subjects, whom he often showed engaged in earthy and unglamorous activities. This program includes many original paintings, drawings, and prints to show Degas' favorite settings--the ballet class, the racecourse, the railway--and to explain his innovative use of the camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent View Into Degas The Man, November 19, 2002

This review is from: Edgar Degas: The Unquiet Spirit [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I had the opportunity to view this video at the Detroit Institute of Arts during the Degas show. I was only disappointed that I found this video after the show. I would dearly like to have seen the show again after viewing this enlightening video. It gives a wonderful background into his life and work, shows where he lived and worked, his friends and his wonderful sense of humor. If you are at all interested in the background of this great artist, this is a wonderful medium to do exactly that.
