Edgar Degas (1834–1917) is one of the most revered artists of all time. The French Impressionist is renowned for his paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings that capture the world of late 19th-century Paris, especially the everyday lives and psychology of his subjects. He is best remembered for his pastels and oil paintings of ballet dancers, which account for half of his oeuvre, but this exhibition illuminates lesser-known aspects of his career and life through a selection of 104 rare works on paper.
