Drawings, Prints, Paintings, Writings
In addition to over 250 colour illustrations, this book draws on a range of sources - the artist's own notebooks and letters, as well as anecdotes and memoirs from his circle of friends and acquaintances - to trace a vivid portrait of Degas at every stage of his long career. These sources reveal intimate aspects of Degas' life and personality. 'Degas by Himself' is both a dazzling tribute to a giant talent and an unprecedented evocation of the artist and the man.
