Edgar Degas is usually associated with Impressionism, but his work often moved against its conventions. In this two-part class, we will look at Degas as a rebel within the movement, exploring how his biography, unusual compositions, cropped views, and fascination with rehearsal, gesture, and modern life shaped his art. Students will consider what painters can borrow from Degas today and develop a composition of their own inspired by his inventive approach to space and structure.
