Edgar Degas (1834-1917) was one of the outstanding draughtsmen of
the 19th century: drawing was not only a central tenet of his art,
but essential to his existence. Through an examination of the
artist's drawings and pastels, Christopher Lloyd reveals the
development of Degas's style as well the story of his life,
including his complicated relationship with the Impressionists.
Following a broadly chronological approach, the author discusses
the various subject areas, not only the images of dancers (which
form over half of Degas's total oeuvre) but also of nudes and
milliners, and the less well-known racehorse and landscape
drawings. He covers his whole career, from when Degas was copying
the Old Masters to learn his craft to when he ceased work in 1912
because of failing eyesight, setting him within the artistic
context of the period. Lloyd's extensive research, which includes
consulting the artist's detailed notebooks, has resulted in a
comprehensive exposition with, at its heart, some 250 pencil,
black-chalk, pen-and-ink, and charcoal drawings and pastels of
timeless appeal.
