The Private Collection of Edgar Degas

When French Impressionist artist Edgar Degas died in 1917, his vast private collection of over 5,000 paintings and prints came to light, containing works by Manet, Cezanne, Gauguin, van Gogh, and Cassatt. The collection is reconstructed here for the first time in this absorbing book, along with 11 essays about Degas and his times. 250 illustrations, 200 in full color.
