The week I've been mainly reading, No.50:

Carol Armstrong's Odd Man Out: Readings of the Work & Reputation of Edgar Degas (1991) contains a lot of insightful analysis but also spends a little too much time on its source material (here in C19th Parisian art criticism). After reading it, I immediately spent some time re-looking at a range of #Degas' work, which reflects the positive value of the book, even if at times it was a bit over-determined in its #arthistory analyses.

The Dancers by Edgar Degas
(French, 1834–1917).

I taught Degas today and I always forget how much I enjoy his compositions. There's just something about the cropping and contrasting directions of the figures...
