 EDGAR DEGAS
from October 8th 2010 to January 15th 2011
Thanks to a partnership with the museum of Orsay, a retrospective exhibition -“Degas sculpteur”- will honour one of the most talented figure of the impressionism.
Edgar Degas has approximately 2000 paintings to his credit. He also sculpted a hundred of pieces based on different themes: dancing-girl, all dressed up women and horse racing.
Despite this extensive production, he only made public one waxed-sculpture: “La petite danseuse de quatorze ans”, which will be exhibited at La Piscine museum along with another 70. The themes dear to the artist for the sculptures also inspired variations in the paintings.
