Dewey, Stoddard | June 29, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

All his life French painter Edgar Degas enjoyed financial independence. In collecting and in painting himself, Degas from first to last sang the song of such independence. The heirs hastened to sell, first the great painter's collection, and next what he had kept of his own work. When a man, long after he began painting, he went and saw the U.S., and his outlook showed the influence. It was supposedly for his very Parisian quality that Degas was discovered by foreigners forty years ago. In his collecting, Degas, while far from universal in taste, has been a lesson to those who love art for art's sake.
