They are respectful of the subject. I guess I must give him credit where it's due, even though I don't like his work in general. ;-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-64351972107376581092009-06-20T03:07:12.630-05:002009-06-20T03:07:12.630-05:00I didn't know much about this fellow, so this ...I didn't know much about this fellow, so this was interesting.

I find his depiction of the female form to be appealing in a distant sort of way. He doesn't seem engaged with any of his semi nude subjects, yet he captures the softness that attracts us.Shawn Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01290241481890970687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-70045009341793683702009-06-19T15:06:47.289-05:002009-06-19T15:06:47.289-05:00Anyjazz - Thanks!

I guess we ought to judge them purely on their output.<br />It's easier to do so in some cases more than others.<br /><br />I didn't know about Degas' background before researching for this post, but I've never, ever cared for his paintings - maybe I just "knew" - neenoo-nee-noo - Well - y'are in my T-zone, after all.

Pollock, Picasso, Kahlo come to mind first.<br /><br />My page on the Degas nude at bath is he third most visited page on my blog. <br /><br />http://jabberclarks.blogspot.com/2009/01/edgar-degas-and-nude-red-headed-girl.htmlanyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.com
