Degas and the Italians in Paris
This exhibition juxtaposes the works of Edgar Degas with those of four Italian artists who were working in Paris during his lifetime and who gained inspiration from Degas' artistic skill and innovative techniques.

Art in the Making: Degas
Unraveling the working techniques of a master artist is the goal of this ongoing series of exhibitions at London's National Gallery of Art. In 2004, Edgar Degas will be the artist under the microscope, so to speak, with an in-depth look at approximately 10 of his works.
The show will be on view starting in November 2004. Get a preview at:
