Abstract
Degas’ world, an exhibition of European prints from the National Gallery of Australia’s collection, opens in association with the major exhibition Degas: master of French art.
It includes prints by Degas’ contemporaries: Pierre Bonnard, Mary Cassat, Paul Cézanne, Honoré Daumier, Henri Fantin-Latour, Paul Gauguin, Édouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec and many others. These artists, including Degas, altered the direction of art at the end of the nineteenth century, moving away from the tradition of the Paris Salon towards art that was revolutionary, independent and modern.
