Description

Edgar Degas belonged to the glorious pleiad of reformer-artists who, in the second half of the 19th century, renewed not only the subject matter of painting but also its visual language. Answering the call of the age - to reflect modern life - he succeeded in conveying the brief moments of swiftly passing life in forms of sharp, dynamic drawing and vivid composition. His pictures on themes of surrounding reality - scenes at the racetrack, in Parisian cafés and fashionable shops, in domestic interiors, in theater rehearsal halls - are distinguished by an uncompromising precision of observation, a special keenness of eye that captures the flow of everyday life in its most varied manifestations.
