Edgar Degas
Today is the anniversary of the death in 1917 of
Edgar Degas
. It's odd to think that he died about a year before my mother was born. He's considered one of the founders of Impressionism and is perhaps best known for his paintings of ballet dancers.
The National Gallery of Art
has some pictures including a close study of
The Dance Lesson
.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
has some information on his life and art.
PBS
has some resources. There are pictures of his paintings and some information about his life at
OCAIW
.
