Degas, Edgar Degas, (Hilaire-Germain-) Edgar (b. July 19, 1834, Paris, Fr.d. Sept. 27, 1917, Paris) French artist, acknowledged as the master of drawing the human figure in motion. Degas worked in many mediums, preferring pastel to all others. He is perhaps best known for his paintings, drawings, and bronzes of ballerinas and of race horses. Encyclopaedia Britannica Ballet Dancers The art of Hilaire Germain Edgar Degas , b. Paris, July 19, 1834, d. Sept. 26, 1917, reflects a concern for the psychology of movement and expression and the harmony of line and continuity of contour. These characteristics set Degas apart from the other impressionist painters, although he took part in all but one of the 8 impressionist exhibitions between 1874 and 1886. Degas was the son of a wealthy banker, and his aristocratic family background instilled into his early art a haughty yet sensitive quality of detachment. As he grew up, his idol was the painter Jean Auguste Ingres , whose example pointed him in the direction of a classical draftsmanship, stressing balance and clarity of outline. After beginning his artistic studies with Louis Lamothes, a pupil of Ingres, he started classes at the Ecole des Beaux Arts but left in 1854 and went to Italy. He stayed there for 5 years, studying Italian art, especially Renaissance works.

HOME ART EDUCATION PREVIOUS PAGE GREAT ARTISTS IN HISTORY ... DEGAS ABOUT Search Edgar Degas ( paintings "Study lines, draw lots of lines, either from memory or nature, and you will become a good artist." Advice given by Ingres to Degas) As an artist Edgar Hilaire Germain de Gas is unique and refreshing in that he can not be totally categorised into any of the various trends of his era. Placing too much emphasis on line and draftmanship to be considered an impressionist, moving away from traditional patterns, to develop a style of his own makes it possible to call him a classicist only for a short time early in his career. Similarly he stands apart from the Romantisists, Realists and Neo-Impressionists to be in a category of his own. His reputation as a loner in terms of his art style was mirrored somewhat in his social life, although he had a few close friends such as Manet, Renoir, Gaugin and Monet he was a lonely man remained unmarried and was never known to have had any love affairs. Degas was born July 19, 1834 to a wealthy Parisian family. His father Auguste moved from Naples to Paris and changed the family name from Degas to de Gas to make it appear he came from a noble French background. Degas' schoolboy dreams where of becoming an artist, and he was greatly influenced by his lifelong admiration of Ingres plus many visits to the Louvre and Italy to view the work of the great masters. In his last years fading eyesight saw him painting less and turning more to sculpture and modelling.

27. Edgar Degas degas was a keen observer of humanity—particularly of women, with whom his work is preoccupied—and in his portraits as well as in his studies of dancers, http://www.mcs.csuhayward.edu/~malek/Impression/Degas.html

Edgar Degas His innovative composition, skillful drawing, and perceptive analysis of movement made him one of the masters of modern art in the late 19th century. His study of Japanese prints led him to experiment with unusual visual angles and asymmetrical compositions. His subjects often appear cropped at the edges, as in Ballet Rehearsal (1876, Glasgow Art Galleries and Museum). In Woman with Chrysanthemums (1865, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City), the female subject of the picture is pushed into a corner of the canvas by the large central bouquet of flowers. Degas was not well known to the public, and his true artistic stature did not become evident until after his death. He was attracted by theatrical subjects, and most of his works depict racecourses, theaters, cafés, music halls, or boudoirs. Degas was a keen observer of humanity—particularly of women, with whom his work is preoccupied—and in his portraits as well as in his studies of dancers, milliners, and laundresses, he cultivated a complete objectivity, attempting to catch his subjects in poses as natural and spontaneous as those recorded in action photographs. Degas was born into a well-to-do banking family on July 19, 1834, in Paris. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts under a disciple of the famous French classicist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, where Degas developed the great drawing ability that was to be a salient characteristic of his art. After 1865, under the influence of the budding impressionist movement, he gave up academic subjects to turn to contemporary themes. But, unlike the impressionists, he preferred to work in the studio and was uninterested in the study of natural light that fascinated them.

Edgar Degas Self-portrait Some art historians have difficulty fitting Edgar Degas into a more narrowly conceived definition of Impressionism; but remaining behind the movement Edgar Degas was its dedicated driving force. Degas had distinction, spirit, and was not afraid of the obstacles he might encounter. He was one of the great ones, one of the brusque characters of the time, who could be critical and curt to an absurd extreme. He was an artist: he was possessed. He worked hard at psychologically precise, realistic portraits, observing light and colour very closely. The hallmark of Degas' art was world of theatre, dance and music. He devoted most of his attention to ballerinas practising under their master or rehearsing on stage. Early in his life Degas began to have problems with eyesight. That's why he gave up painting in favour of pastels and charcoal drawings. Degas also sculpted dancers and bathers in wax and clay. Once blindness no longer permitted drawing, all that was left was to work with his fingers.

Edgar Degas Art Edgar Degas Art Degas, Edgar (July 19, 1834, Paris, France - September 27, 1917, Paris), French painter and sculptor, known especially for his paintings of ballet dancers. Other subjects that he frequently returned to include horse races, women bathing, and portraits of friends and relatives. Degas combined a modern focus on the creation of unusual compositions and the rendering of movement with a traditional emphasis on skillful drawing. An accomplished sculptor as well as painter, he molded, in wax and clay, exquisite small statues of dancers, female bathers, and horses in motion. Degas is usually classed with the Impressionism , but he stood somewhat apart from the other artists in this group. He did not share the Impressionists' fascination with natural light and its effects, and he disliked painting directly from nature, preferring instead to work in the studio. Moreover, Degas had little interest in landscape - the primary subject matter of the Impressionists - and concentrated instead on the human figure. Also unlike the Impressionists, Degas was interested in drawing and emphasized line in his work. The art of Degas reflects a concern for the psychology of movement and expression and the harmony of line and continuity of contour.

Early Years Edgar Degas was born in Paris as the son of a wealthy banker. He studied art at the famous Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After having finished his studies he went to Italy where he stayed for five year studying and copying meticulously the old masters of the Renaissance. His decision to study the old masters was typical for his personality - that of a perfectionist. Back in France in 1859, Degas exhibited his works for the first five years at the official Salon in Paris. Later he joined the

A fan of photography and Japanese prints, his off-center empty spaces and arrangement of figures tends to draw you into the paintings as if you were an unseen spectator to the scene. After seeing painting after painting of young ballet dancers, Degas' work starts to seem downright yoyeuristic - and I'm not talking about reading the newspaper over somebody's shoulder voyeurism. I'm talking about disturbing voyeurism, like that uncle nobody likes who stares down your girlfriend's shirt at Thanksgiving, or the scary old guy in the park watching kids.

Degas c.1895-1900 Name : Hilaire-Germain-Edgar Degas Born : Paris, France 19 July 1834 Died : Paris, France 27 September 1917 The career of Edgar Degas was a long one - about 60 years out of the 83 which he lived. And his style, unlike that of most famous artists who worked into their old age, never ceased developing, always seeking out new means of expression and technique. Besides Degas, arguably only Titian and Picasso were able to maintain such a comparably high level of creativity. The art dealer Ambroise Vollard one day asked him why he had never married, to which he replied: "I would live in constant fear that, whenever I completed a new painting, I would hear my wife say ' That's so pretty what you've done there! ' ". Indeed, despite today's almost universal appreciation and popularity of his images, it was never a conventional sense of beauty which attracted his talents. Grande Baigneuse , he actually managed to meet Ingres, a man who, although by then unfashionable with contemporary artists, was to have a lasting influence on him. Throughout his life he was to recall how Ingres exhorted him to "follow the lines". But this didn't prevent him also being influenced just as much by the latter's great rival Delacroix, giving him the ambition of combining the expressive qualities of Ingres with the colour of Delacroix. He was later to describe himself as "a colourist with line".

Reading the Animal in Degas's Young Spartans by Martha Lucy Fig. 1 Edgar Degas, Young Spartans Fig. 2 Edgar Degas, Study for Young Spartans In Edgar Degas's studio a work begun in 1860 sat dormant, unfinished, for almost 20 years. It was a large-scale history painting—one of the few Degas would produce—and it pictured classical figures, linear and abstracted, locked in frieze-like arrangement on either side of a silent space. After seeing the abandoned canvas in the artist's studio in 1879, the Italian art critic Diego Martelli described it as "one of the most classicizing paintings imaginable" and suspected that it remained unfinished precisely for that reason: "Degas could not fossilize himself in a composite past," he explained in a lecture later that year. Soon after Martelli's remarks, Degas returned to the painting, removing the classicizing architecture and making several compositional changes. And in one of the most unusual revisions of his career, he painted over the classical profiles, replacing them with distinctly unidealized heads. The result was his Young Spartans , now at the National Gallery, London; the painting's original appearance is best approximated by the classicizing
