Summary
Edgar Degas (1834-1917) was fascinated with ballet dancers, whom he depicted with great frequency in many media throughout his career. Degas's Dancers at the Barre(The Phillips Collection) is one of the crowning achievements of the artist's career and the cornerstone of this insightful publication. Bringing together carefully chosen drawings, pastels, prints, paintings, and mixed media, which relate to the Phillips's masterpiece, the authors build on recent scholarship about Degas's approach to work, his technique, and the subject matter. This book also features fascinating results from recent conservation of the work, the first campaign since the painting was acquired in 1944, which brought to light important new facts about its sources, dating, and complicated history.
