Catch Looking Into Degas: Uneasy Images Of Women And Modern Life Developed By Eunice Lipton Offered In Volume

This book is about the realist paintings, They are the ones that evoke modern Paristhe streets and cafes, the singers and ballet dancers, the laundresses and millineers.
These are the paintings that are both nostalgic and modern, They long for a privileged past in the same instant that they reject its values they lurch merrily, sometimes nastily, into modern Paris at the very moment that they longingly nod in the direction of tradition.
