Book Synopsis Degas and His Model by : Alice Michel
Download or read book Degas and His Model written by Alice Michel and published by David Zwirner Books. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many myths about the artist Edgar Degas—from Degas the misanthrope to Degas the deviant, to Degas the obsessive. But there is no single text that better stokes the fire than Degas and His Model, a short memoir published by Alice Michel, who purportedly modeled for Degas. Never before translated into English, the text’s original publication in Mercure de France in 1919, shortly after the artist’s death, has been treated as an important account of the master sculptor at work. We know that Alice was writing under a pseudonym, but who the real person behind this account was remains a mystery—to this day nothing is known about her. Yet, the descriptions seem too accurate to be ignored, the anecdotes too spot-on to discount; even the dialogue captures the artist’s tone and mannerisms. What is found in these pages is at times a woman’s flirtatious recollection of a bizarre “artistic type” and at others a moving attempt to connect with a great, often tragic man. The descriptions are limpid, unburdened; the dialogue is lively and intimate, not unlike reading the very best kind of gossip, with world-historical significance. Here in these dusty studios, Degas is alive, running hands over clay, complaining about his eyes, denigrating the other artists around him, and whispering salaciously to his model. And during his mood swings, we see reflected the model’s innocence and confusion, her pain at being misunderstood and finally rejected. It is an intimate portrait of a moment in a great artist’s life, a sort of Bildungsroman in which his model (whoever she may be) does not emerge unscathed.

Book excerpt: Alongside [Vincent] van Gogh, [Paul] Cézanne, and [Paul] Gauguin, Edgar Degas ... is considered one of the major pioneers of modern art. In light of his popular impressionistic paintings, it is easy to lose sight of the conplexity of Degas's oeuvre. All his life, the artist experimented with printing techniques and drawing as well as photography and sculpture. In his late work the delicate, detailed painting of his mature period between the eighteen-seventies and early eighteen-eighties yields to a unique pleasure in technical experimentation and an obsessive creativity, which increasingly liberated the means of depiction from its reproductive function. As if in a dreamlike state that unites the present and past, things seen and remembered, he produced nude studies, ballet scenes, landscapes and portraits. ..."--Book jacket.

Book Synopsis Edgar Degas Sculpture by : National Gallery of Art (U.S.)
Download or read book Edgar Degas Sculpture written by National Gallery of Art (U.S.) and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the sculptures of French artist Edgar Degas (1834-1917). Degas is known for his work in painting, sculpture, printmaking and drawing. He is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, although he rejected the term, and preferred to be called a realist. Although best known as a painter, his most widely known work is a sculpture, "Little Dancer Aged Fourteen". Executed in wax, near life-sized, dressed in a ballerina's tutu, with real ballet slippers and real hair, the sculpture caused a sensation when it was exhibited in 1881. It is the only sculpture Degas ever showed publicly, though more than one hundred -- of dancers, horses, and bathers -- were found in his studio after he died, all dusty, some fallen apart. This work includes essays on Degas' life and work, his sculptural technique and materials, and the story of the sculptures after his death. It features art-historical and technical discussions of every work in the collection as well as concordances and bibliography.

Book Synopsis Mapping Degas by : Roberta Crisci-Richardson
Download or read book Mapping Degas written by Roberta Crisci-Richardson and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Art History and the Impressionist canon seem to have successfully claimed Edgar Degas as a misogynist, rabid nationalist and misanthrope whose art was both masterly and experimental. By analysing Degas’s approach to space and his self-fashioning attitude towards identity within the ambiguities of the political and artistic culture of nineteenth-century France, this book questions the characterisation of Degas as a right-wing Frenchman and artist, and will change the way in which Degas is thought about today.
