Editorial Reviews

Review
Portraits of Degas' early career and details on his works use the Art Institute's extensive Degas holdings to provide visual embellishment. Expect a title light on discussion and heavy on visual images, with Boggs tracing patterns of experimentation and innovation which were key Degas contributions. -- Midwest Book Review

Product Description
The Art Institute of Chicago enjoys an almost unparalleled collection of works by Degas. Here, a selection of highlights enables renowned art historian Jean Sutherland Boggs to survey his career and trace his lifelong exploration of motifs and ideas. Painter and draftsman, graphic artist and sculptor, creator of some of the finest pastels of his time, there is no area of the fine arts that he did not master. 60 illustrations, 40 in full color.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amzing work of art on the artist, January 5, 2001
By Scot Lee (CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Degas (Basic Art) (Paperback)
This is a truly remarkable work of art. I reccommend this richly detailed novel for any one who is a fan of Degas, Impressionists, or just art in general.

Truly amazing.
