A notorious bachelor, Degas never married, never had
children. He said his life as an artist
prevented him from having a personal life.
I bet the fact that he was an asshole didn’t help. He alienated every friend he ever had. Maybe that’s why he liked drawing dancers and
naked women taking baths.
And yet – the world is a better place for it. His drawings, paintings, etchings, pastels
and sculpture are beyond belief.
Possibly the finest draftsman to ever live.
But nobody’s perfect.
