Born July 19,1834-Died September 27, 1917Degas was a French painter and sculptor who was a major player in the impressionist movement. When browsing his paintings and sculptures you will find he had a fascination with the female form and ballet dancers in particular. He was particularly grand in capturing a moment in time of everyday activities, a concept embraced by the impressionist. Throughout his life, his work evolved from traditional to impressionistic with touches of realism and expressionism. Degas began using oil paints attempting to learn the techniques of the old masters by copying their work. Later he explored pastel and gouache and wax when sculpting. Towards the end of his life, he had failing eyesight and his work became more simplistic and brightly colored. Degas did more sculpting towards the end of his life as well. Degas loved to experiment and combine mediums in new ways seeing the effect they had. Sometimes combining oil and pastels, layering and removing ink in new ways. He experimented in printmaking and using etching plates. His relentless drive to further artist techniques is inspiring. He is even said to have been an influence on Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.
