This exhibition offers viewers the rare opportunity to see 73 sculptures posthumously cast in bronze from original composite and wax models created by French painter and sculptor Edgar Degas. One of the most important artists of the 19th century, Degas spent his life investigating the figure in motion through studies of ballerinas, horses, and bathers, all of which are represented in this show. Along with the sculptures on view, a selection of the artist's prints and drawings will also be shown to provide viewers with a fuller scope of Degas' skill for representing the figure.
