Title: Degas' Little Dancer, Aged Fourteen: The Earlier Version That Helped Spark the Birth of Modern Art
Description: Stuttgart, Arnoldsche Art Publishers, 2016. Hardcover. White paper boards, gray and illus. dust jacket, 312 pp. color and BW illus. "Exhibited in a vitrine that emphasized the frontal and profile views of the figure, the Little Dancer was a key catalyst for the post-1881 flourish of rigid front and profile poses -- views that flattened pictorial space -- among such avant-garde painters as Whistler, Manet, Sargent, and particularly Seurat. When Degas chose to elevate a lowly, fourteen-year-old 'opera rat' by giving her an iconic pose, he also anticipated radical ideas that would define important aspects of modern and contemporary art." (dj). New, in shrinkwrap .
