Degas Sculptures
Degas Sculptures presents a rare opportunity to view in a single exhibition all 73 bronze sculptures by the great French Impressionist master, Edgar Degas (1834-1917). The exhibition explores one of the most fascinating aspects of the work of this seminal painter and sculptor whose innovative compositions, skillful drawing and perceptive analysis of movement made him one of the late 19th-century masters of modern art. The collection of 73 sculptures in the exhibition comes from the Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo, Brazil, and is one of only four complete sets of the artist's bronzes in existence.
The exhibition is organized by Joseph S. Czestochowski and circulated by International Arts. The exhibition is coordinated at MAM by Laurie Winters, curator of earlier European art.

The emphasis is not on the use of found footage itself, but on its manipulation to create a new work.This exhibition is organized by the Milwaukee Art Museum and curated by Stefano Basilico, MAM adjunct curator of contemporary art.
