| book description |

The Burrell Collection in Glasgow houses more than twenty paintings, pastels, and drawings by Edgar Degas (1834â€“1917) that include his most recognisable motifs: ballet dancers, bathers, jockeys, and women at work. Together with a selection of the National Galleryâ€™s oils and pastels, they represent every stage of Degasâ€™s career. The authors show how the immediacy of these works is enhanced by the artistâ€™s energetic technique. These are not so much spontaneous sketches as daring experiments in form and color. Essays explore Degasâ€™s innovative use of pastels; his career and the ongoing critical assessment of his art; and the life and milieu of his contemporary Sir William Burrell, the wealthy Scottish shipping magnate and philanthropist, for whom forming this impressive collection of Degasâ€™s works was an unusual foray into contemporary art. Published by National Gallery Company/Distributed by Yale University Press Exhibition Schedule: National Gallery, London (09/20/17â€“April 2018)
