| Publisher Description: Edgar Degas (1834-1917) masterfully depicted ballerinas, racehorses, and the street life of 19th century Paris. He painted in Italy and New Orleans, each place influencing his art. He was a founder of the Impressionist movement, yet refused to be defined by it and held himself apart. Degas was an enigma and one of the great artists of his time.

Each beautiful hardcover book includes an interesting retelling of a single person's life, suitable for young adults and adults alike.
