Degas: A Passion for Perfection By Jane Munro

so I absorbed a lot of this book I think it was a good book I enjoy reading fiction better but learned a lot about Edgar Vegas and his work Jane Munro The size of the book and the shiny paper made it physically difficult to read but the illustrations and essays are excellent Quite a detailed art historical approach mostly rather than interpretative but full of fascinating information Jane Munro
