Edgar Degas seems never to have reconciled himself to the label of \"Impressionist,\" preferring to call himself a \"Realist\" or \"Independent.\" Nevertheless, he was one of the group's founders, an organizer of its exhibitions, and one of its most important core members. Like the Impressionists, he sought to capture fleeting moments in the flow of modern life, yet he showed little interest in painting plain air landscapes, favoring scenes in theaters and cafes illuminated by artificial light, which he used to clarify the contours of his figures, adhering to his Academic training. He is especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers. He also was a superb draftsman, and particularly masterful in depicting movement, as can be seen in his interpretations of dancers and female nudes. His portraits are notable for their psychological complexity and for their portrayal of human isolation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Tsaneva\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1505854148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781505854145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.39d","brand":"Maria Tsaneva","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485499961599,"sku":"9781505854145","price":8.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af2cfb91-7c1e-4dac-ac2f-066225214965.jpg?v=1778049824","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/edgar-degas-maria-tsaneva-9781505854145","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
