While Edgar Degas is celebrated for his portraits and his dancers, his nudes are frequently overlooked. Degas and the Nude explores the artist’s treatment of the nude figure from his early years in the 1850s and 1860s, through his triumphs in the 1870s and 1880s, all the way to his last decades when this theme—in paintings, pastels, drawings, prints, and sculpture—reigned over his artistic production.
