DegasStudio Editions, 1992 - 144 pàgines Edgar Degas's ballet dancers and late nudes constitute one of the peaks of nineteenth-century art. Contemporaries described his nudes in tones of excited horror ("Crouching, gourd-like women fill the bathtubs . . . who are these women? Whores or housewives? Nobody knows"). Reproduced in full color with text by noted art historian Patrick Bade, this book lets readers decide for themselves. |
