    Exhibition/Collection catalogue 2005. 260x220mm 127 pages. Illustrated in colour and black and white. Paperback. Very good. From the library of the late art critic John House, with his name on front endpage. This handsomely illustrated book presents more than seventy paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and sculptures by Edgar Degas (1834 - 1917) in Harvard University's collections - one of the most important holdings of the artist's work in the United States. In 1911, the Fogg Art Museum was the first museum to mount a one-man exhibition on Degas and was the only museum to do so during the artist's lifetime. This book examines the history of Degas's reception in the U.S., and in particular the pivotal role that Harvard played. Marjorie Benedict Cohn offers an historical account of the formation of the prized collection of Degas's works at the Fogg. Jean Sutherland Boggs provides an engaging personal recollection of her initial encounter in 1944 with Degas and his champion at the Fogg, associate director Paul J. Sachs, who inspired not only Boggs's later work on Degas but also that of many other art historians, museum directors and curators. Ask to see our other Degas titles. …

    Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. 1992. 191pp. 85 illustrations, 70 in colour. "Edgar Degas manipulated past of handling and expressive power than any other artist. Pastel, used sporadically in the 1860s and with increasing frequency in the 1870s, had by the 1880s become his preferred medium. Today, Degas' pastels are distinguished not only for their sheer quantity (he created over 700), but for the evidence they provide of his critical role as a catalyst of modernism. Pastel, the ambivalent medium par excellence, half pencil, half brush, suited Degas' métier as reporter of human behaviour and as recreator of nature. Whether at the ballet, the café concert, the racetrack, or in a woman's dressing room, Degas transformed scenes of public and private life in Paris into meditations on the character of his subjects. As he abandoned allusions to specific places, concentrating almost exclusively on scenes based on the bath, he grew increasingly fascinated by the pure properties of line, shape and colour, and the magical reinvention of space through their metamorphoses. Degas' formal revolutions coincided with unparalleled technical developments. Used in combination with distemper, over monotype, intaglio prints, or transfer lithographs, and with intermittent layers of fixative, pastel evolved into the ideal vehicle for Degas' complex artistic temperament. Never before had works in the medium achieved this degree of visual complexity, chromatic intensity and brilliance. In her introductory essay, Jean Sutherland Boggs explores the art-historical context of Degas' work, particularly the achievements in pastel of other nineteenth-century artists. Anne Maheux describes the working methods and materials that Degas employed, focusing on his innovative techniques. An album of seventy reproductions of pastels from collections worldwide - many never previously published -presents a complete pictorial history of Degas' work in the medium; each plate accompanied by complete catalogue data and extensive commentaries. This seminal study not only transforms our view of one of the great artists of Impressionism, but also presents fresh evidence of how that tradition grew into the art we know today." Book and unclipped dust jacket are both in excellent condition. No inscriptions. PLEASE NOTE: This is a heavy book and extra postage will be required for non-UK customers. Edgar Degas (illustratore). …

    Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. 191 pages : illustrations (some colour), colour portraits ; 33 cm. Edgar Degas manipulated pastel with greater range of handling and expressive power than any other artist. Pastel, used sporadically in the 1860s and with increasing frequency in the 1870s, had by the 1880s become his preferred medium. Today, Degas' pastels are distinguished not only for their sheer quantity (he created over 700), but for the evidence they provide of his critical role as a catalyst of modernism. Pastel, the ambivalent medium par excellence, half pencil, half brush, suited Degas' métier as reporter of human behaviour and as recreator of nature. Whether at the ballet, the café concert, the racetrack, or in a woman's dressing room, Degas transformed scenes of public and private life in Paris into meditations on the character of his subjects. As he abandoned allusions to specific places, concentrating almost exclusively on scenes based on the bath, he grew increasingly fascinated by the pure properties of line, shape and colour, and the magical reinvention of space through their metamorphoses. Degas' formal revolutions coincided with unparalleled technical developments. Used in combination with distemper, over monotype, intaglio prints, or transfer lithographs, and with intermittent layers of fixative, pastel evolved into the ideal vehicle for Degas' complex artistic temperament. Never before had works in the medium achieved this degree of visual complexity, chromatic intensity and brilliance. In her introductory essay, Jean Sutherland Boggs explores the art-historical context of Degas' work, particularly the achievements in pastel of other nineteenth-century artists. Anne Maheux describes the working methods and materials that Degas employed, focusing on his innovative techniques. An album of seventy reproductions of pastels from collections worldwide - many never previously published - presents a complete pictorial history of Degas' work in the medium; each plate accompanied by complete catalogue data and extensive commentaries. This seminal study not only transforms our view of one of the great artists of Impressionism, but also presents fresh evidence of how that tradition grew into the art we know today.
