Degas also produced bronze sculptures, prints and drawings. Degas is especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Degas is regarded as one of the founders of\u003cspan\u003e impressionism\u003c\/span\u003e, he rejected the term, preferring to be called a\u003cspan\u003e realist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand did not paint outdoors as many Impressionists did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDegas was a superb\u003cspan\u003e draftsman \u003c\/span\u003eand particularly masterly in depicting movement, as can be seen in his rendition of dancers and bathing female\u003cspan\u003e nudes\u003c\/span\u003e. In addition to ballet dancers and bathing women, Degas painted\u003cspan\u003e racehorses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand racing jockeys, as well as portraits. His\u003cspan\u003e portraits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eare notable for their psychological complexity and for their portrayal of human isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the beginning of his career, Degas wanted to be a\u003cspan\u003e history painter\u003c\/span\u003e, a calling for which he was well prepared by his rigorous academic training and close study of classical art. In his early thirties, he changed course, and by bringing the traditional methods of a history painter to bear on contemporary subject matter, he became a classical painter of modern life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GOLDEN RULE GALLERY VINTAGE ART","offers":[{"title":"Unframed","offer_id":54253979697445,"sku":"djz1793025531905","price":49.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Professionally Custom Framed","offer_id":54253979730213,"sku":"jfx1793025531906","price":128.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/3931\/9077\/files\/vintage-1952-degas-the-dancing-class-art-print_1.jpg?v=1793025537","url":"https:\/\/terrywearfashion.shop\/products\/vintage-1952-degas-the-dancing-class-art-print","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
