Lovely book that has pages of the pastels that were done by Degas. These images are large enough that you can get a sense of how he built the color and his use of movement into the paper. I found this a fascinating book that was quick to read.

5 ⭐️ Superb text and great reproductions. Equally clear explanation of Degas’ choice of subjects, his techniques and goals, his personality and the social-artistic context of his work. I wish other overview books about artists were as good as this one.
