Reviews

This a handy guide for those who want to study works of Degas. Degas himself would go to the Louvre and copy works of the masters. Used right this book can be a helpful tool to beginning artists. Am not sure it is useful to those who have no previous knowledge of Degas but it does work well as a compliment with books that talk of the the man.
