Jiang Xun Talks about Edgar Degas (Chinese Edition) Details
Edgar Degas was born in a noble family, but he was not limited by his noble identity. Inspired by modern aesthetics, he saw the prosperity and liveliness of emerging cities and also saw the alienation and loneliness among people behind the prosperity. Degas was more profound than his contemporary painters. Thus he did not stay in the colorful surface of prosperity, and his paintings always showcased the inner human nature. Degas was a subverter and revolutionist. He raised a series of questions towards life and was unsatisfied that the history was stagnant. The painting of Degas was like epitome of the age. In the crowded city, he saw prosperity but also desolation; he saw liveliness and also loneliness.
