Degas, Sickert and Toulouse-Lautrec: London and Paris 1870-1910 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781854376343)

The crucial dialogue between British and French artists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, is explored for the first time in this unique publication. The pivotal figures of Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Walter Sickert are examined alongside Pierre Bonnard, Henri Fantin-Latour, Sir William Rothenstein, James Tissot, Edourd Vuillard and James McNeill Whistler, bringing together some of the greatest names in avant-garde art of the time. Arranged chronologically, this stunningly illustrated book examines the introduction of Degas's work to the British art world; his influence on a circle of younger artists, most significantly Walter Sickert; the growing influence of French culture on British society and the first exhibitions of the quintessentially Parisian Toulouse-Lautrec in Britain.
