About Edgar Degas

Edgar Degas worked in pastel, oil and sculpture, and often used unusual, cropped viewpoints inspired by photography. His soft pastel colour suits bedrooms, dressing areas and calm living spaces. Impressionist paintings use visible brushstrokes and soft colour that feel bright and airy on a wall. Impressionists favoured everyday subjects: gardens, cafés, rivers, railway stations and changing weather.
