{"product_id":"49266-degas","title":"Degas. Basic Art","description":"Most commonly associated with the birth of the Impressionist movement in mid-19th-century Paris, Edgar Degas (1834–1917) in fact defied easy categorization and instead developed a unique style, strongly influenced by Old Masters, the body in motion, and everyday urban life . The elder scion of a wealthy family, Degas cofounded a series of exhibitions of “Impressionist” art, but soon disassociated himself from the group in pursuit of a more realist approach. His subjects centered on the teeming, noisy streets of Paris , as well as its leisure entertainments, such as horse racing, cabarets, and, most particularly, ballet. With often ambitious, off-kilter vantage points, his images of ballerinas numbered approximately 1,500 works , all deeply invested in the physicality and the discipline of dance. Through illustrations of Foyer de la Dans e (1872), Musicians in the Orchestra (1872), and many more, this book provides an essential overview of the artist who created a category all his own, a world of classical resonance, bold compositions, and an endless fascination with movement , which together produced some of the most striking and influential works of the era.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":53458145673429,"sku":"9783836532716","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true},{"title":"French","offer_id":53458145706197,"sku":"9783836532709","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Italian","offer_id":53458145738965,"sku":"9783836537278","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/3f508f6e02b7c25360af2a1ea8222f03.png?v=1773906942","url":"https:\/\/weavingtheplanet.com\/en\/products\/49266-degas","provider":"Weaving The Planet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
