Edgar DEGAS
Hilaire Germain Edgar de Gas, dit Edgar Degas (1834-1917) dans la même ville, est un artiste peintre, graveur, sculpteur et photographe, naturaliste et impressionniste français. Si Degas est un membre fondateur du groupe des impressionnistes, son œuvre est si varié par ses thèmes et sa pratique qu'il ne les rejoint pas dans leurs traits les plus connus. Sa situation d’exception n’échappe pas aux critiques d’alors, souvent déstabilisées par son avant-gardisme, qui fait encore, aujourd’hui, l’objet de nombreux débats auprès des historiens d’art.
Edgar Degas (1834-1917) was a French artist famous for his paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings. He is especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers. He is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, although he rejected the term, preferring to be called a realist. He was a superb draftsman, and particularly masterly in depicting movement, as can be seen in his rendition of dancers, racecourse subjects and female nudes. His portraits are notable for their psychological complexity and for their portrayal of human isolation.
