Memories of Degas

English

By (author): George Moore Walter Sickert

Degas was a celebrity in Britain in his lifetime, thanks originally to George Moore's pioneering essay, The Painter of Modern Life. When Degas died Moore reprised the essay with some further recollections, in part as a riposte to the memoir published by Degas's great admirer and follower, Walter Sickert. Sickert's essay, sparkling, engaged, witty and occasionally combative, is amongst the best of his writings. Together these memoirs represent some of the most vivid responses to Impressionism in English - as well as painting an intimate picture of arguably the most important and most influential - and the most humane - of the painters of the later 19th century. Hitherto difficult to find, these essays are reprinted here with an introduction by Anna Gruetzner Robins and are illustrated with 30 pages of colour plates covering the span of Degas's dazzling career.

About George MooreWalter Sickert

George Moore (1852-1933) was an Irish writer of novels poetry plays and art criticism. His first ambition was to be a painter and he spent much of the 1870's in Paris where he came to know many of the leading figures in art and literature. Walter Sickert (1860-1942) of mixed Danish German and English blood became one of the most powerful followers of Degas in England and an important link between Impressionism and Modernism. He also wrote much important art criticism. Anna Gruetzner Robins is Professor of History of Art at the University of Reading. She was co-curator of `Degas Sickert and Toulouse-Lautrec: London and Paris 1870-1910' 2005 and editor of `Walter Sickert: The Complete Writings on Art' 2000.
