The first in-depth examination of this major artist's impact on contemporary art, this book explores how contemporary practitioners have used Degas's creativity as a springboard to engage imaginatively and critically with themes of colonialism, gender, race and class. individual chapters are devoted to dialogues between Degas's art and works produced by Frank Auerbach, Cecily Brown, Xinyi Cheng, Ryan Gander, Maggi Hambling, Damien Hirst, Howard Hodgkin, Chantal Joffe, Leon Kossoff, R.B. Kitaj, Juan Muñoz, Paula Rego, Jenny Saville, Yinka Shonibare, Cy Twombly and Rebecca Warren. Through close analyses of selected works, Brown explores how Degas's technical and compositional experiments have been extended or challenged in innovative ways, prompting a reconsideration of ideas that have informed histories of 19th-century French art. Overturning familiar conceptions of influence by eschewing a genealogical approach, this book encourages a new conception of the agency of visual artefacts and of the conversations they are capable of entertaining with each other. Consequently, it will have a profound impact on the methodologies traditionally used in the writing of art histories"-- Bokens bakside
