Edgar Degas lived from 1834 to 1917. He was a great painter of Impressionism, yet differed from most other Impressionists because he detested painting outside. "Art is not a sport" he once said. [1] He loved to paint ballerinas and horse racing. He is also known for his "slice of life" paintings of working class people. Some of his most well known paintings are "The Glass of Absinthe" and "Prima Ballerina".
