Description

This excellently illustrated book examines the mastery of the pastel technique that was such an outstanding feature of Degas' art. Although Degas was not unique in using pastel, it eventually became a method that he explored as few have done. Jockeys in the rain is a splendid example of the use of the medium. The eldest of five children, Degas came from a privileged Parisian family and received a strict, classical education. He acquired an early taste for art, and although he went to law school he spent his time drawing, visiting the studios of artists and viewing private collections owned by friends of his father. He entered the studios of Barrias and Lamothe, and studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts before travelling widely in Italy. Throughout his life he was caught midway between the Paris Salon and the impressionists. He was always aware of the problems of light and tone and took advice from Ingres, for whom he had the highest admiration. Degas was a master portrayer of everyday reality but one of his greatest qualities was his draughtsmanship in the classical tradition, being comparable to that of Ingres himself. This is a fascinating and authoritative exploration of the work of a great artist.--Book jacket.
