EDGAR DEGAS: A Strange New Beauty Exhibition at MoMA (#2 cont.)

ART

EDGAR DEGAS: 
A Strange New Beauty 
Exhibition at MoMA
(Continued - Issue #2)


During the 1880s in Paris, a new technique "monotype" emerged and certainly intrigued artist Edgar Degas. A monotype is a transfer print made from an original work being painted on a non-absorbant surface like glass or stone, that is then transferred to paper as a UNIQUE one-of-a-kind print. Often the artist would work back into the print with various other media.

Most of the works in this exhibition are shown very rarely, for that reason the exhibition is very interesting to all who love Degas' artworks.

Included are some seldom shown etchings, lithographs and oil paintings as well, that relate to the monotypes shown.

Below more of the exhibition at Museum of Modern Art, NYC titled:

  1. wonderful thank you - have been looking for the cardinal family monotypes and would like to read to book if online a more realistic story of the poor little dancer and the slum she grew up in and her limited chances possibly her younger sister's sucess came from her older sisters' sacrifice so she could at least eat and have shelter while growing up and training. their family moved many time indicating evictions due to inability to pay rent have read that currently in America there are evictions every 4 minutes the bankers and the ones giving away out jobs did this over a series of decades and people still dont'know what hit thiem
