The Life & Work of Edgar Degas
 
Of all the artists associated with Impressionism, Edgar Degas was the most complex in his approach. In these two talks, we will explore this artist's fascinating life and career, his relationship to the other major artists and photographers, and his artistic evolution. Included in our discussions will be the ballet world he depicted, themes of women of questionable reputation, and the arena of horseracing.
