The numerous iterations of compositions and poses suggest an intense self-discipline, as well as a refusal to accept any creative solution as definitive or finite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in the centenary year of the artist’s death, this book presents an exceptional array of Degas’s work including paintings, drawings, pastels, etchings, monotypes, counter proofs, and sculpture. It features approximately sixty key works from private and public collections in Europe and the United States, some of them published here for the first time. Shown together, the impressive works represent well over half a century of innovation and artistic production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEssays by leading Degas scholars and conservation scientists explore his practice and recurring themes of the human figure and landscape. The book opens with a study of Degas’s debt to the Old Masters and concludes with a consideration of his artistic legacy and his influence on leading artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, including Francis Bacon, Frank Auerbach, Ryan Gander, David Hockney, Howard Hodgkin, R. B. Kitaj, Pablo Picasso, and Walter Sickert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in association with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (10\/3\/17–1\/14\/18)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDenver Art Museum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (02\/18\/18–05\/20\/18) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430553239788,"sku":"9780300228236","price":95.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780300228236.jpg?v=1774559057","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/degas-9780300228236","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
