Edgar Degas (1834-1917) French
Realist/Impressionist Painter and Sculptor, known for his ballet dancers.
Degas is usually classed with the impressionists, and he exhibited with
them in seven of the eight impressionist exhibitions. However, his training
in classical drafting and his dislike of painting directly from nature
produced a style that represented a related alternative to impressionism.
The models in Absinthe Drinker were
used in Edouard Manet's painting. It's interesting to note the differences
in social class which each painter chose to depict:
