Prints, drawings and bronzes by Degas : exhibited from January 26 to February 28
A 1922 exhibition catalogue issued by the Grolier Club in New York, documenting Edgar Degas's prints, drawings and bronzes for a limited audience of collectors and bibliophiles. The first picture shows three small bronze dancers in arabesque poses, and the second shows a row of four dancers in sequence, while the third is a soft charcoal study of a seated nude seen from behind. A designer could take from them the repeated figure in graded sizes, the elongated lines of ballet poses, and the smudged tonal shading of charcoal.
