Today, July 19, is the birthday of French painter and sculptor Edgar Degas. Degas (1834 - 1917) is best known for his drawings and paintings of dancers. During his career, he created more than a thousand beautiful ballet pictures.
You can read about Degas, his art and his fatherly affection for the young dancers of Paris in the book Degas and the Dance: The Painter and the Petits Rats, Perfecting Their Art by Susan Goldman Rubin.
