Known
for his paintings and sculptures, Edgar Degas was one of the
original impressionist painters. He is credited as
being one of the originators of impressionism. He was
a Frenchman that was born in 1834 in Paris. He began
painting early on and had his own studio by the time he
turned eighteen. These 2009 Degas calendars focus on
his paintings of ballet dancers. He was a known artist
during his lifetime, but became even more renowned in the
afterlife. Edgar Degas passed away in 1917. He
had just begun to gain acceptance as one of the foremost
artists of his time. Ninety years later, in these 2009
calendars, Degas is considered one of the best ever. |
