Edgar Degas: The Private Impressionist

23 Feb, 2012 - 28 May, 2012
Edgar Degas: The Private Impressionist will be the first comprehensive exhibition at the Museum devoted to the 19th-century French master Edgar Degas and his works on paper. Comprised of more than 70 drawings, prints, pastels, and photographs as well as several sculptures, the exhibition will provide an insightful exploration of the oeuvre of one of the most skilled and complex artists in art history. In addition to masterworks by Degas, the exhibition will include a select group of rare works on paper by artists of his circle, including captivating works by Mary Cassatt, Paul C茅zanne, Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. To add even greater depth to the exhibition, generous loans to the Museum from major benefactor Scott M. Black including Degas鈥檚 Portrait of Alexis Rouart (1895) and from Les Otten including Degas鈥檚 Fourth Position in front on the left leg will be part of the installation. Paintings and drawings by Jane Sutherland, a contemporary New England artist greatly inspired by Degas, will add yet another dimension to the exhibition. 

The exhibition was organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA and Denenberg Fine Arts, West Hollywood, CA.
