Biography:
As a lifelong student of Italian Renaissance and sixteenth century painters, Edgar Degas developed a passionate interest for accuracy in his forms. He met Manet in 1861, who introduced him to the impressionism and allowed him to participate in most of their exhibitions. Despite the tendency of the Impressionists to favor landscapes, Degas is most recognized by his painting of female dancers. When his sight began to fail in 1875, Degas began to experiment with pastels, capturing momentary images with a departure from classical poses. Degas is also known for his sculptures, which he created out of wax and clay originally, but were cast in bronze after his death.
