ADFAS Coffs - Edgar Degas: Painting the Darker Side of Life
About
Kathy McLauchlan (The Arts Society UK)Many stories are told about Degas, his attitudes and his work. This talk seeks to unpick myth from reality, pointing out the strange, even contradictory nature of Degas’ work. We concentrate on portraits and domestic scenes from the 1860s, quite early on in Degas’ career, when he was still in search of an artistic identity. Is there a logical explanation for these unsettling compositions, or is Degas engaged in an elaborate game with his viewers?
