Exhibition runs from July 12 to October 18, 2009

This exhibition is the first extended study to focus on Edgar Degas’ engagement with the musical world of his day.  Featuring a rich and varied group of works, the exhibition and accompanying catalogue will demonstrate how music provided the inspiration for some of his most renowned creations.  Organized by the Hyde Collection, and guest curated by Jill DeVonyar and Richard Kendall, the leading scholars specializing in the life and work of Degas, this exhibition will present paintings, pastels, prints, drawings, and sculptures by this French Impressionist artist.
