内容简介

埃德加·德加(1834 -1917)是19世纪杰出的绘图家之一，绘画不仅是他艺术的核心原则，也是他生存的根本。

通过对他的绘画和蜡笔的考察，这本书揭示了德加风格的发展以及他的生活故事，包括他与印象派的复杂关系。

按照大致的时间顺序，作者讨论了这位艺术家的各个主题领域，从舞者的形象(占德加作品总数的一半以上)到裸体、洗衣工、女帽商，以及不太知名的赛马和风景画。

他涵盖了德加从临摹前辈大师学习技艺到1912年因视力衰退而停止创作的整个艺术生涯，并将他置于当时的艺术语境中。

广泛的研究，包括仔细研究艺术家详细的笔记本，已经导致了一个全面的展览，在其核心，超过200支铅笔，黑粉笔，钢笔和墨水，木炭素描和彩色粉笔的永恒吸引力。

Edgar Degas (1834 –1917) was one of the outstanding draftsmen of the nineteenth century, and drawing was not only a central tenet of his art but also essential to his existence. Through an examination of his drawings and pastels, this book reveals the development of Degas’s style as well the story of his life, including his complicated relationship with the Impressionists.

Following a broadly chronological approach, the author discusses the artist’s various subject areas, from the images of dancers―which form over half of Degas’s total oeuvre―to nudes, laundresses, milliners, and the less well-known racehorse and landscape drawings. He covers the whole career, from when Degas was copying the Old Masters to learn his craft to when he ceased work in 1912 because of failing eyesight, and sets him within the artistic context of the period. Extensive research, including a careful study of the artist’s detailed notebooks, has resulted in a comprehensive exposition with, at its heart, over 200 pencil, black-chalk, pen-and-ink, and charcoal drawings and pastels of timeless appeal.
