Degas: The Painter of Modern Life by Walter Sickert

Degas was a celebrity in Britain in his lifetime, thanks originally to George Moore's pioneering essay, The Painter of Modern Life'. When Degas died Moore reprised the essay with some further recollections, in part as a riposte to the memoir published by Degas's great admirer and follower, Walter Sickert.
Walter Sickert, pupil of Whistler and one of the finest painters of the early twentieth century, was also a prominent writer on the arts. George Moore, novelist and philosopher, was amongst the first to understand and chronicle the revolutionary developments in art happening in Paris at the end of the nineteenth century.
