Degas In The Norton Simon Museum

Edgar Degas (1834-1917) was one of the first artists collected by the American industrialist, philanthropist, and art collector Norton Simon (1907-1993). Over the course of nearly three decades of art acquisition, Simon purchased more than a hundred works by Degas, including paintings, bronzes, and pastels.

This comprehensive catalogue of the artworks by Degas now housed in the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, offers an insight into the evolution of Simon's extensive collection of pieces by the French impressionist.
