Excerpt from Degas: An Intimate Portrait
The present volume makes no pretence of being other than the most informal of biographies, composed of notes jotted down casually and bits out of the author's experience in the course of his long and pleasant acquaintance with the artist. It is difficult, indeed, to write of Degas in any other way, for the personality of this deft portrayer of little ballet rats and race-courses is as elusive as one of those canvases of his, in which the grace and beauty of a fleeting movement have been captured and recorded for all time. A race-horse pawing the ground, a laundress ironing a shirt, a dancer tieing her shoe all these arrested movements have been imbued with perma nence by the magic of his brush.
The incidental note struck in his pictures seems true also of his life. Like most geniuses he was essentially independent of events, persons, and places, refusing to be limited by time and disregarding as unimportant everything which did not include and enrich his work.
