This is a fairly decent budget collection of Degas' drawings, they are mostly preparatory sketches capturing a pose or compositional idea, a few of them are surprisingly clunky for Degas and have heavy outlines and large limbs that remind me of Picassos' paintings of dancers from the early 1920's. Like most of the books in this series the print quality is fairly hazy and lacks contrast - especially the ones that are monochrome prints of pastel drawings done on coloured paper but for the money this is a useful book to have if like me you're keen to improve your drawing skills.

A must have for Degas fans
23 Feb 2004
Format:Paperback
This book is worth every penny you pay for it, and then some. It gives you a full page of information on Degas at the beginning of the book. Just 1 page. The next 44 pages are his sketches. You get 47 of these, most of them fill the entire page. Each plate is of the highest quality. It's almost as if you're looking directly into Degas' sketchbook. Alot of them even show where he made changes to what he originally drew. Most of them have his notes. Nearly all of them have his signature. Printed under each plate is it's title, size, and year it was drawn. This is, for the most part, the beginning of his wonderful paintings. The sketches from his studies of the dancers.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who even remotely likes Degas, or anyone who likes good art. The sketches are just beautiful, and there isn't a whole lot of history overshadowing the art. This book is just amazing. A must have!
