Degas by Himself offers an unusually intimate portrait of Edgar Degas, bringing together his drawings, prints and paintings with his own words, notebooks, letters and correspondence. Edited by art historian Richard Kendall, the book explores Degas's life and career through both his artwork and the observations he made about art, artists and everyday life.
Rather than being a conventional biography, the book allows Degas's personality and ideas to emerge through his own writings and the recollections of friends and acquaintances. It covers his career from his early years through his association with the Impressionists and his later work, accompanied by extensive reproductions of his art.
This 2004 Time Warner Books edition is a handsome, accessible volume for anyone interested in Degas, Impressionism and 19th-century French art. The edition shown is the 223-page paperback edition with ISBN 9780316728102.
Condition: Very good vintage condition. The cover shows some light signs of age and handling, while the book remains clean and well preserved overall. Please refer to photographs for condition details.
