About the book

Edgar Degas is celebrated for his images of ballet dancers rehearsing, performing and resting behind the scenes. Rather than presenting only the glamour of the stage, Degas studied movement, repetition, unusual viewpoints and the physical discipline of dance. His paintings, pastels, drawings and sculptures of the Paris Opéra helped redefine modern figure painting and became among the most recognisable images of nineteenth-century French art.
