19. Edgar Degas

He was called "the painter of dancers" but it wasn’t the dancers he wanted to capture—it was the movement. From dancers to horse races to scenes of everyday life, he wanted to paint his subjects in an honest, unguarded moment.

In this episode, we're going to learn about Edgar Degas.
