Edgar Degas

In order to paint it enlarged.

*Degas drew a ggrid over it to make it easier to copy.

There is no way of knowing how many artists there were in the world then or now.

Tens of thousands, anyway.

The cause of his death was unspecified. He was quite old.
Actually he died in world war 1 of old age.

In November 2008 'Danseuse au repos', 1879, pastel and gouache, was sold for $37,042,500.

Talent, Hard work, Ambition.

He also was inspiered by the captions he saw in his mind of young ballerines and dancers.

There exist a few copies, one in Copenhagen, at least one in the USA, and one in Paris. Not in the Louvre, 19th century art is in the Musée d'Orsay.

Degas' work is much crisper than that of other impressionists; it seems to have been carried out more slowly. In contrast, impressionists like Monet and Van Gogh used quick, visible brush strokes.

Georges Rouault, Pablo Picasso.

Other famous clown painters including Leighton Jones (link below)who painted Emmett Kelly and Red Skelton who did a number of clowns including his character, Freddie the Freeloader.

Another famous clown painter was Julian Ritter who painted numerous clowns starting in the late 40's through the 60s. Some of his most famous paintings hung in the Silver Slipper Casino in Las Vegas.

To help rebuild French culture...

The "antifreeze smell out the AC vents" would mean only one thing, you have a small leak in the heater core.

During his lifetime there was no radio, nor recorded music. To listen to music you had to go to a concert.

In the last 10 years of his life his eyesight deteriorated. For some time he made small sculptures, but in the end he was practically blind.

Edgar Degas,

I was doing a school report on Edgar Degas......because his mother died when Degas was 13 he became quite ill tempered.

Yes.

Most of the 1200 he painted.
Most of his paintings.

In November 2008 his painting Danseuse au repos, from 1879, was sold for $37,042,500.

They liked most of what he did.

His aim was to show the human body in action.
