EDITORS COMMENTS
Self-Portrait, 1857" is a captivating monochromatic masterpiece created by the renowned French artist, Edgar Degas. This exquisite etching and drypoint, one of five in this state and part of a total edition of seventeen, offers a rare glimpse into the personal world of Degas. The image, captured in the 1850s during the nineteenth century, showcases Degas in a half-length portrait, dressed in formal attire typical of the era. He wears a collared shirt, a waistcoat, and a top hat, which adds an air of sophistication to the image. The artist's self-portrait is a testament to the rich heritage of art and the evolution of fashion during the 19th century. Degas, known for his impressionist style, masterfully captures the intricacies of clothing and fabric in this black and white print. The delicate folds and textures of his dress shirt and waistcoat are rendered with remarkable precision, while the contrast between the white collar and the dark hat creates a striking visual effect. The self-portrait invites viewers to contemplate the life and career of this influential artist. Degas, born in Paris, France, was a prolific painter and sculptor, best known for his depictions of dance, the horse racecourse, and the modern urban scene. This self-portrait, however, offers a more intimate and introspective look into the artist's world. Today, "Self-Portrait, 1857" is part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Degas and the profound impact of his work on the art world.
