    Edgar Degas was a French artist renowned for his masterful depictions of movement, particularly in his paintings of dancers, racehorses, and nudes. While considered a founder of Impressionism, he preferred to be called a realist. His ambition shifted from history painting to capturing contemporary life with classical techniques. His portraits are celebrated as some of the finest in art history, showcasing his superb draughtsmanship and unique artistic vision.

    • Degas's scenes of the ballet seem to summarize the vitality and the fragile glamour of the modern spectacle. The text which accompanies the illustrations looks at Degas's varied use of media and discusses the in-between world of theatre wings where fact and fiction collide.

    • Sbírka obsahuje přibližně jednu třetinu sonetů v originále i v překladu, které doprovázejí reprodukce obrazů autora, čelného představitele francouzského impresionismu v malířství a sochařství. Podobně jako jeho výtvarné dílo zachycují i básně především svět divadla, tanečnic a koňských závodišť, viděný malířovými smysly, vnímajícími hlavně pohyb, barvy a světla.
