I just finished this book this morning! And I wanted to write about him and his works while it was still fresh in my mind. He was born July 19th, 1834. My personal thoughts I feel that Edgar Degas was best known for his ballerina oil paintings and paste works. All sorts of different scenes just from this one topic. Like before while taking a stretch to during a play - each one I enjoyed and felt like he captured a-lot of emotions related to that activity, those have been my favorite. I thought it was interesting also how he was a photographer. And he did some sculptures which turned out quite well. Edgar was an impressionist (I feel most if not all of these books they are impressionists which I'm okay with!). His life seemed to be quite and towards the end lonely. He believed an artist couldn't' have a personal life. In fact this caused other friends to distance themselves from him.
Have any of you heard of Edgar Degas and have seen his works?
