Hilaire-Germain-Edgar De Gas – Saturday 19 July 1834 Paris, France to Thursday 27 September 1917 Paris, France
French Realist / Impressionist Painter and Sculptor
Degas is known for his paintings of ballet dancers, but in this work – Miss La La at the Cirque Fernando, 1879 – he presents a performer of a different kind. Living in Southern California, I certainly appreciate the woman’s name.
Last Monday’s Artist – Mary Stevenson Cassatt
Next Monday’s Artist – Robert Rauschenberg
