MANET/DEGAS AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART

The Manet/Degas exhibit at the METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART is spectacular! The artists were friends, colleagues and rivals. But what struck me was their vast body of work. Below are just some of what captured my attention. I would like to go back to take it all in once again.

Their lives and careers

Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas were born only two years apart, Manet (1832–1883) and Degas (1834–1917). Their artistic objectives often overlapped.

They were both sons of bourgeois families.

How many works are in the exhibition?

There are over 150 paintings and other works on paper

How long will the exhibit be at the Met?

It is there until January 7.
