	Edgar Degas
		Edgar Degas, (Hilaire Germain) was a French painter, draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor.
		Degas was a keen observer of humanity -- particularly of women, with whom his work is preoccupied -- and in his portraits as well as in his studies of dancers, milliners, and laundresses, he cultivated a complete objectivity, attempting to catch his subjects in poses as natural and spontaneous as those recorded in action photographs.
		Degas is usually classed with the impressionists, and he exhibited with them in seven of the eight impressionist exhibitions.

		The art of Degas reflects a concern for the psychology of movement and expression and the harmony of line and continuity of contour.
		Degas was the son of a wealthy banker, and his aristocratic family background instilled into his early art a haughty yet sensitive quality of detachment.
		In Paris, Degas came to know Édouard Manet, and in the late 1860s he turned to contemporary themes, painting both theatrical scenes and portraits with a strong emphasis on the social and intellectual implications of props and setting.

		Degas' attention shifted to new subjects: café life, horse racing, the ballet, the circus, and the theater.
		His paintings, instead, contrast the somber colors of the theater with the light-filled pastels of dancers' tulle, or the flat green of racing turf with the cream or vermillion of jockeys' silks.
		An aristocrat to the end, Degas pursued his own interests regardless of the Impressionist movement, but nonetheless is considered one of its founding figures.

		Degas had many influences that effected his work, but respect for the “masters of the past” and their working habits was paramount.

		Degas always enjoyed watching young women; and the shopping trips were an excuse for watching sales-clerks as they moved, presented a dress, used their hands, created complex gestures necessary for trying on hats, every movement.

		Degas was much harder to take, with his spiny intelligence (never Renoir's problem), his puzzling mixtures of categories, his unconventional cropping and, above all, his "coldness" - that icy, precise objectivity which was one of the masks of his unrelenting power of aesthetic deliberation.
		Degas was the most modern of artists, but his kind of modernity, which entailed a passionate working relationship with the remote as well as the recent past, hardly exists today.
		Degas copied everything from Mantegna to Moghul miniatures, and even the work of lesser painters than himself; an artist, he said, should not be allowed to draw so much as a radish from life without the constant habit of drawing from the old masters.

		oth Edgar Degas and Mike Young are known for freely brushed paintings of the female figure in which the initial sketch and the technique are highlighted as major elements in the finished piece.
		Degas reportedly declared, "Hitherto the nude has always been represented in poses which presuppose an audience, but these women of mine are honest, simple folk, unconcerned by any other interest than those involved with their physical conditions."
		Degas single-handedly brought the pastel painting to the level of a serious art medium and his techniques have yet to be surpassed by an artist in the past century.

	NCAW Spring 03 \| Martha Lucy on Degas's Young Spartans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		She argues that the picture in its revised version is a metaphor for the equal relationship between the sexes, and that Degas's attitude on this would have changed between his conception of the painting in 1860 and its revision in 1879 or 1880, due to the intervening rise of the French feminist movement.
		Arguing that Degas intentionally coded the figure as morally deviant, he frames the sculpture in relation to other works bearing similar animalistic physiognomies and describes how those works were constructed and interpreted as degenerate, less evolved types.
		Degas surely would have seen the picture at the 1880 Salon, and it is likely that the two artists discussed Cormon's project the previous year, at the Café de la Rouchefoucauld, where they were both regulars.
