Among the supreme masterpieces of 19th-century art are Edgar Degas' dramatic, incisive and often brilliantly coloured pictures of the ballet. He has enormous popularity as the foremost artist of the dance - with more than half his vast body of paintings, pastels, drawings and sculptures devoted to the on- and off-stage activities of ballerinas - and this catalogue, accompanying an exhibition, illuminates the theme in its historical context. This authoritative volume presents material about Degas as an artist and his relationship with the ballet of his day. He is shown to be knowledgeable about the training and technique of dancers, as he responds to numerous ballet productions at the Paris Opera and the daily routines of the classroom.

hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Artikel-Nr.
