{"product_id":"degas-at-the-opera","title":"Degas at the Opera","description":"Edgar Degas (1834–1917) is celebrated as ‘the painter of dancers’, a subject that dominated his art for nearly four decades. Although there have been many books and exhibitions celebrating his love of the ballet, this volume is the first to consider his enduring fascination with the Paris Opéra. Celebrating the 350th anniversary of the Opéra’s founding, \u003ci\u003eDegas at the Opéra\u003c\/i\u003e presents approximately 100 of the artist’s best-known and beloved works in a range of media, including paintings, pastels, drawings, prints and sculpture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA music lover and regular visitor to performances, Degas explored both the public spaces of the Opéra – auditorium, stage and boxes – as well as more private ones, including dance studios and backstage. He immortalized the players in this dazzling universe in such paintings as \u003ci\u003eLa Loge\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLa Petite Danseuse de Quatorze Ans\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLe Foyer de la Danse\u003c\/i\u003e. They and many other works are reproduced here, accompanied by texts by a distinguished team of art historians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47306001318165,"sku":"9780500023396","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/0503\/0165\/products\/9780500023396_degas-at-the-opera.jpg?v=1696392000","url":"https:\/\/www.thamesandhudson.com\/products\/degas-at-the-opera","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
