Additional cultural and artistic information about the artist

* * *

Main works

The "Dancers," including the famous "Little Dancer of Fourteen Years," "Nudes" coming out of the bath in the tradition of Odalisques, and "Absinthe."

Artistic movements

Impressionism sometimes bordering on hyper-realism.

Inspiration, influence

Ingres for drawing and classicism, and Delacroix for painting. His influence on American painting is very significant, especially on Edward Hopper.

His contemporaries

The Impressionists, but also the artists of his time, like Zola or Berthe Morisot... Tireless talker (with a caustic sense of humor), he loved society and intellectually clashed with his contemporaries...

To keep in mind

Edgar Degas is a painter who, in a certain way, bridged the gap between painting and photography. Like Caillebotte (and his famous "The Floor Scrapers"), he excels at hyper-realism ("The Cotton Office in New Orleans") while working with tight framings and strong foregrounds, allowing him to break free from classicism!

To go further

Master of drawing, in the purest tradition of Ingres, many see Edgar Degas as a bourgeois moralist, upholding the most narrow classicism... However, how can one not see the modernity of the painter in his "revolutionary" compositions (the bathers, the horses) where he does not bother with propriety, but instead gives free rein to his desire to impose his version, his vision!
