The Art Collection is a newly created and designed art series analyses the historical importance and cultural legacy of famous artists, from Renoir to Cezanne, through Monet, van Gogh, Degas, Klimt, Toulouse-Lautrec, Gauguin and Hieronymus Bosch, with a final volume on religious icons.
The books are distinguished by superb illustrations and colour reproductions of representative works, resulting in an essential collection for any art lover at a remarkably affordable price. The fourth title in the series celebrates the work of Edgar Degas, 1834 -1917, the French artist famous for paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings. He is especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers. The book is full of examples of his work, including his masterly paintings and sketches depicting movement, as can be seen in his rendition of dancers, racecourse subjects and female nudes. 300 colour and b/w illustrations
