Degas in the Norton Simon Museum: Catalogue of Paintings, Pastels and Bronzes Volume 2 (book)

This post is also available in:

Discover Degas in the Norton Simon Museum, the definitive catalogue of works by Edgar Degas in the Norton Simon Museum collection. This comprehensive 596-page hardcover book (ISBN 9780300148848, published 2009) explores one of the world’s most impressive private collections of Degas masterpieces.

Edgar Degas was among the very first and last artists collected by industrialist Norton Simon. In less than thirty years, Simon assembled over 100 works by Degas, including paintings, pastels, and exceptional bronzes. From his first acquisitions in late 1955 (a bronze sculpture and a pastel) to his final purchases in 1983, Simon bought and sold 131 works by the artist.

Edited by Senior Curator Sara Campbell, this authoritative volume features detailed catalogue entries for thirty paintings and works on paper by renowned Degas scholar Richard Kendall. The unique foundry models — bronzes cast directly from Degas’ original waxes — are catalogued by Daphne Barbour and Shelley Sturman (National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.). Sara Campbell also provides an updated inventory of Degas bronzes and new technical insights into their casting.

A essential reference for collectors, scholars, and lovers of Impressionism and 19th-century French art.
