Inhaltsangabe

How does one account for the change in style of Edgar Degas' work during the latter half of his life? Starting in 1870, what reason was behind the artist gradually adopting such a different style, so removed from the meticulous precision of his initial approach to painting? Using scientific analysis, Michael Marmor compares the painter's canvases as we view them at present in museums, with how Degas saw them, evermore hazily, with failing vision. Marmor shows the consequences that the deterioration of Degas' sight had on the evolution of his style. Surprising and innovative through the quality of its illustrations, this book yields new insight into the relationship between art and science.
