Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Step into the elegant yet sharply observed world of Edgar Degas (1834-1917), the French artist celebrated for his images of dancers, racehorses, performers, and modern Parisian life.

Featuring more than 65 full-color reproductions, this compact guide introduces the vision of an artist who transformed everyday observation into enduring art.…
