Entstehung des Historienbildes "Jeunes Filles Spartiates provoquant des Garçons". Mit dem Werk "Steeple-Chase" entstehen erste Rennplatzbilder. Degas dient einige Zeit im Krieg in der Artillerie der Nationalgarde. Er beginnt, seine Stilmittel durch das Studium des Freilichtes anzureichern. Er nimmt mit zehn Bildern an der ersten Ausstellung der Impressionisten in Paris teil. Degas wendet sich neuen Darstellungsgebieten zu: Opern- und Balletszenen und Gestalten des täglichen Lebens, wobei die Hauptperson in eine Ecke gerückt und vom Bildrahmen angeschnitten wird. Zu dieser neuen Konzeption der "Momentphotographie", mit der er den Bemühungen der Photographie und des Films um eine neue Wiedergabe des Raums vorgreift, findet er im Pastell das entsprechende Malmittel. Degas nimmt zum letzten Mal an einer Impressionistenausstellung teil. Danach distanziert er sich von der Gruppe. Auf einer Auktion der Sammlung Rouart erzielt Degas' Bild "Danseuses à la barre" den höchsten Preis, der bis dahin in Frankreich für das Gemälde eines lebenden Künstlers gezahlt wurde.

HOME ART EDUCATION PREVIOUS PAGE GREAT ARTISTS IN HISTORY ... DEGAS ABOUT Search Edgar Degas ( paintings "Study lines, draw lots of lines, either from memory or nature, and you will become a good artist." Advice given by Ingres to Degas) As an artist Edgar Hilaire Germain de Gas is unique and refreshing in that he can not be totally categorised into any of the various trends of his era. Placing too much emphasis on line and draftmanship to be considered an impressionist, moving away from traditional patterns, to develop a style of his own makes it possible to call him a classicist only for a short time early in his career. Similarly he stands apart from the Romantisists, Realists and Neo-Impressionists to be in a category of his own. His reputation as a loner in terms of his art style was mirrored somewhat in his social life, although he had a few close friends such as Manet, Renoir, Gaugin and Monet he was a lonely man remained unmarried and was never known to have had any love affairs. Degas was born July 19, 1834 to a wealthy Parisian family. His father Auguste moved from Naples to Paris and changed the family name from Degas to de Gas to make it appear he came from a noble French background. Degas' schoolboy dreams where of becoming an artist, and he was greatly influenced by his lifelong admiration of Ingres plus many visits to the Louvre and Italy to view the work of the great masters. In his last years fading eyesight saw him painting less and turning more to sculpture and modelling.

Degas, Edgar Woman Combing her Hair c.1887-90; Louvre, Paris Degas, in the Classic line of descent from Ingres as a draughtsmanand one of the greatest in Europe since the giants of the Renaissance exchanged oil paint for pastel, as in this example, with a sense of greater freedom in being able to draw in the medium as well as to apply color. The word `classic' refers to his preoccupation with the human figure but not to any desire to depict an ideal type of humanity. Remarking that `la femme en général est laide' he showed no disposition to modify this supposed ugliness. He quickly abandoned the antique subject-matter of pictorial composition after his few early essays. His meeting with Manet in 1862, his acquaintance with Berthe Morisot Monet Renoir and Pissarro and his introduction to the Impressionist dealer Durand-Ruel, all tended to draw him into the current of Realism and Impressionism, though open-air landscape painting did not interest him in the least. Realism required that the nude should be depicted in a situation of credible reality and not artificially posed as some character of fable. Impressionism no doubt contributed the idea that just as the landscape painter caught transient effects of light so it was possible to catch natural and transient phases of movement in the living model. The credible reality was usually that of bathers in the open. Degas made a logical enlargement of his field of study in depicting women in various stages of undress at their toilet or getting into and out of

Artist: Edgar Degas Dates: Nationality: French Style: Impressionism Edgar Degas is known as an Impressionist painter. Impressionism started in France in the 1860s. Degas is best known for his pictures of ballet dancers, the romantic Paris night-life and horse racing scenes. He often used charcoal and coloured chalk to create his artworks. In his last years fading eyesight saw him painting less and turning more to sculpture and modelling. It is estimated Degas made approximately 1500 paintings, pastels, prints and drawings of dancers.

Degas, Edgar Race Horses 1885-88 (100 Kb); Pastel on panel, 11 7/8 x 16 in; Philadelphia Museum of Art Race horses and Jockeys, even more than dancers, occupied Degas throughout his long career as an artist. Paul-Andre Lemoisne catalogued some ninety-one works in this category, spanning the period from 1860 to 1900a number that did not include Degas's equestrian waxes and bronzesand they embrace a range of sizes and mediums. As with the Paris Opera, the spectacle of the turf gave Degas the base material from which to forge images of modern life in an alloy that fused references to the art of the past with details observed from life and scrupulously documented. But more than any other of his subjects, this was a genre that fed upon itself and spawned countless variations and adjustments. From a repertory established very early, Degas proceeded to select individual jockeys and rearrange them, to repeat poses and refine them, until this hermetic world lost all connection with the reality of the race track... This diminutive composition of Race Horses , which falls toward the end of the first phase in this development, is immediately distinguished by its unusual support. It is pastel, and not oil, on panel: the wood here, possibly light mahogany, is the kind that might be used for cigar boxes. Although pastel on panel is not a unique combination, it is extremely rare in Degas's oeuvre, and testifies to his continuing pleasure in experimenting with techniques and supports.

Degas, Edgar: Ballet dancers There are many great paintings to remind us that the artists of the Impressionist age were sensitively aware of contemporary life. Among the supreme masterpieces of the century are Degas's pictures of the ballet and its dancers. The impulse towards painting the contemporary scene came to him not only from Courbet and Manet but from his friend, the critic Duranty, the exponent of the aesthetics of naturalism. Yet in the particular direction of his tastes and his conception of design he was entirely individual. To study and convey movement was a chosen task, first undertaken on the race course and then in his many pictures of the Opera, viewed from behind the scenes, in the wings, or from the orchestra stalls during a performance.
