Degas went to the beach too

One summer in Normandy, 1869. Degas sketched outside just long enough to remember what he needed, then went back inside and rebuilt the whole thing from memory. Bad eyes, brutal sun. He made 40 of these. Pastel on paper, not oil on canvas. The man famous for backstage ballet did this. The same summer. 🎨 EcoArtLab — Frame TV & Printable Art Transform your space with museum-quality digital art #degas #edgardegas #degasbeach #degasnormandy #degaspastel #degasseascape #degaslandscape #normandy1869 #impressionism #impressionistart #frenchart #arthistory #pastelart #japanesewoodblockinfluence #deg
