Edgar Degas has long been associated with ballerinas, but there was much more to his art. As a chronicler of Parisian life, he captured everything from electrically lit cafés to brothels, and he used a novel method—the monotype—to depict them. This session explores the artist’s varied subject matter and printing techniques so we might gain a deeper appreciation for the breadth of his work.
