Edgar Degas: A collection of 658 paintings (HD)

Description: "A man of many talents, Edgar Degas was a famous French Impressionist painter who depicted the Parisian life in beautiful images. Edgar had a fascination for human figures and many of his paintings featured dancers in unusual positions. During his course at École des Beaux-Arts, which was a popular art school in France, he spent three years travelling in Italy where he studied and copied the arts of Da Vinci and Michelangelo. After he returned to Paris, he started making portraits; however his innovation with techniques did not go well with Salon, a group of powerful artists who presided over art exhibitions. In the next few years, Edgar was part of a group of avant-garde artists who dwelled on how painters could take a modern approach to art. With the outbreak of Franco-Prussian War, Edgar enrolled as a National Guard. But, he escaped much of the bloodbath that followed for the establishment of the Third Republic by travelling to New Orleans. After he returned to Paris, Edgar along with his fellow avant-garde artists formed the Society of Independent Artists, a group which aimed to exhibit their art without the control of Salon. This group came to be known as ‘Impressionists’ for their style of art, although Degas himself was more comfortable with the term ‘Realist’ or Independent’."

As a ballerina in the paris opera, I have a deep love for Degas work and have a print framed and hanging on my wall. Although ballet has progressed immensely since his time of paintings, the fact that an artist took the interest and talent to paint the the ballerinas touches my heart. I look at his print of his artwork with great admiration and appreciation hanging on my wall. The wide range of his work is so remarkable as well. This artist has a special place in my heart.❤Degas 8:20

He was one of the best impressionist that started the movement. In his work I can hear him say this is my world, con you see it, feel it. Thank you for the show.

I feel his ballerinas are some of his work. They show both movement and grace. I have loved his work for a very long time.

He was no fool. He painted the ballerinas and they took off their cloths and bathe in from of him. Nice video. Very well put together.

Wonderful fluid motion, this my favorite Degas, young woman entering a shallow bath. The female figure: evidence of creative/creating God.
