Edgar Degas (1834-1917) was an important Impressionist painter. Edgar Degas was born in a family of financial capitalists. Degas ’grandfather was a painter, so Degas grew up in a family that cares a lot about art from an early age.


After graduating from high school, Edgar Degas enrolled in an art school, where he studied Italian art in Italy, especially Renaissance art. At the same time, Degas studied in the studio of Louis Lamott, a proud student of Jean-Suguste Dominique Ingres (1780-1867). painting. At that time, Degas copied many paintings and drawings from the 15th to the 16th centuries; when he returned to Paris, he was already a master of deep sketching and mastered the good techniques of the Angel School. This kind of sketch is a kind of classical sketch, and it is a kind of sketch studied in college (academicism). Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) and Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) soon rose up against this kind of sketch, but Degas ’s attitude towards it was different. sketch. Degas has a natural interest in drawing. He likes thin, coherent and clear lines. He believes that this line is the guarantee of elegant style and the only way to achieve the beauty he admires. The line became his desire. In the use of online, Degas has reached a point where none of Angel's disciples and their followers can reach the level of brilliance.


But soon, Degas' sharp sense made him aware of a new artistic flow, that is, "realism". But this theory advocates abandoning the ideals of ancient Greece's beauty and replacing it with simple, sincere expressions of what you see. In order to approach the ideal of beauty without breaking away from reality, Degas's creative technique is to use clean lines and light and dark techniques. If you want to portray reality, you must subordinate the technique to the individuality of the image. This is portrait painting. Degas' portraits in his youth accurately showed his excessive belief in sketches, excellent skills, and delicate feelings.
