Edgar Degas Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

Degas's mastery in the depiction of movement ""No art could be less spontaneous than mine. Inspiration, spontaneity, temperament are unknown to me. One has to do the same subject ten times, even a hundred times over. In art, nothing should look like chance, not even movement.""—Edgar Degas In terms of both theme and technique, the key to understanding the early work of Edgar Degas (1834–1917) is classical painting. Although he was eventually associated with the Impressionists and even participated in their joint exhibitions, Degas never adopted a purely Impressionist approach. Degas's work, reflecting an extremely personal and psychological perspective, emphasizes the scenic or concentrates on the detail. Thus, Degas's painting is often discussed with reference to the rise of short-exposure photography. Thematically, nature proved less interesting to the artist than the life and inhabitants of the modern metropolis. Degas primarily sought his motifs at the race track or circus, in bedrooms, or in ballet salons—and dancers always remained his favorite theme.

Degas's scenes of the ballet seem to summarize the vitality and the fragile glamour of the modern spectacle. The text which accompanies the illustrations looks at Degas's varied use of media and discusses the in-between world of theatre wings where fact and fiction collide.

Sbírka obsahuje přibližně jednu třetinu sonetů v originále i v překladu, které doprovázejí reprodukce obrazů autora, čelného představitele francouzského impresionismu v malířství a sochařství. Podobně jako jeho výtvarné dílo zachycují i básně především svět divadla, tanečnic a koňských závodišť, viděný malířovými smysly, vnímajícími hlavně pohyb, barvy a světla.
