In Odd Man Out, Carol Armstrong offers an important study of Edgar
Degas's work and reputation. Armstrong grapples with contradictory
portrayals of Degas as "odd man out" within the modernist canon: he
was a realist whom realists rejected; a storyteller in pictures who
did not satisfy novelist-critics; a painter of modern life who was
not a modernist; a member of the impressionist group who was no
impressionist. Armstrong confronts these and other paradoxes by
analyzing the critical vocabularies used to describe Degas's work.
By reading several groups of the artist's images through the lens
of a sequence of critical texts, Armstrong shows how our critical
and popular expectations of Degas are overturned and
subverted.
This is a reprint of the book first published by the University of
Chicago Press in 1991.
