The 41st Annual Ruth K. Shartle Symposium: The Private Collection of Edgar Degas
Sunday, Oct. 16, 2016
03:00 PM – 04:00 PM
US/Central
Edgar Degas, Combing the Hair, c. 1896, oil on canvas, National Gallery, London.
Presented by Gary Tinterow, director of the MFAH and organizing co-curator of the exhibition “Degas: A New Vision”
When Edgar Degas died in 1917, his enormous art collection, consisting of several thousand paintings, drawings, and prints, came to light. This lecture shows how Degas’s artistic thinking was influenced by the artists he admired, and highlights Degas’s “Degases,” the works he kept for himself throughout his career—many of which are on view in the landmark exhibition Degas: A New Vision.
