Summary

"French Impressionist Edgar Degas worked behind-the-scenes at the Paris Opéra, observing the young dancers. He drew their poses again and again. Inspired by the dancers, Degas created lively paintings like The Dance Class and realistic sculptures such as The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer. Featuring more than twenty of his works of art--paintings, drawings, pastels, and sculptures--exclusively from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, [this book] captures each step of a dancer's journey from young girl to prima ballerina."--Page [4] of cover
