Ürün Tanıtımı

Danceclass: The master of bodies in motionMost commonly associated with the birth ofthe Impressionist movement in mid-19th-century Paris, Edgar Degas (1834 1917)in fact defied easy categorization and instead developed a unique style,strongly influenced by Old Masters, the body in motion, and everyday urbanlife.The elder scion of a wealthy family, Degas cofounded a series ofexhibitions of Impressionist art, but soon disassociated himself from the groupin pursuit of a more realist approach. His subjects centered on the teeming,noisy streets of Paris, as well as its leisure entertainments, such as horseracing, cabarets, and, most particularly, ballet. With often ambitious,off-kilter vantage points, his images of ballerinas numbered approximately1,500 works, all deeply invested in the physicality and the discipline ofdance.Through illustrations of Foyer de la Danse (1872), Musicians in theOrchestra (1872) and many more, this book provides an essential overview of theartist who resisted categorization but created a category of his own, a worldof classical resonance, bold compositions, and an endless fascination withmovement, which together produced some of the most striking and influentialworks of the era.
