Before you is the latest book by the outstanding art historian Mikhail Yuryevich German and the first monograph in Russian dedicated to the great Edgar Degas. This is a profound study of Degas's work, his genesis from an imitator of Ingres to an artist-reformer who became a "contemporary of the future", a link that finally formed, in the author's opinion, the integrity of the art movement of the New and Modern Times. (It contains "the harsh and tender calligraphy of Clouet and Fouquet, the majestic logic of Poussin and the dazzlingly cold brilliance of Ingres, the passion of Delacroix's colors, the power of Cezanne and - life after death in the works of Toulouse-Lautrec and Picasso, in the discoveries of cinema, in the very vision of the 20th and already 21st centuries.") The essence of the problems of art history raised and solved, immersion in the era and the brilliant presentation of the material - make the monograph not only modern, but also consonant and close to the artist's art itself. Mikhail Herman's pen, like Edgar Degas's brush, "touches the future." The artist's desire "to be famous and unknown" did not come true, and this book is further proof of this.
