Edgar Degas
1834–1917, Frankreich (Paris), Impressionismus
Edgar Degas nannte sich lieber Realist als Impressionist. Er begann mit Bildnissen seiner Familie und Historienbildern in der Art der alten Meister und fand dann seine Themen im modernen Paris: Tänzerinnen hinter der Bühne, Pferderennen, Wäscherinnen und Frauen bei der Toilette. Mit Pastell, Kohle und Monotypie probierte er immer neue Techniken aus.
