Degas and New Orleans: A French Impressionist in America

Gail Feigenbaum

Synopsis:
This volume celebrates the only visit by a French Impressionist to the United States. When Edgar Degas arrived in New Orleans, it was both a homecoming to the city where his mother's family settled, and an exotic sojourn in the land of cotton and steamboats. This book presents penetrating portraits of Degas's family and paintings alongside family letters, documents, heirlooms, and vintage photographs to illuminate this unique era in art and history.
