An exploration of Edgar Degass laundress works and their significance within broader debates art, urban life, and womens work in the nineteenth centuryEdgar Degass depictions of Parisian laundresses are some of the famed Impressionists most revolutionary works. In paintings, drawings, and prints throughout his long career, Degas emphasized the strenuousness of womens labor and highlighted socialclass divides in his idiosyncratic avantgarde style. Laundresses washing, ironing, and carrying heavy baskets of clothing were a highly visible presence within late nineteenthcentury Paris, and their job was difficult, dangerous, and poorly paid. Indeed, many laundresses were forced to supplement their income through prostitution. Degass portrayals of this harsh and complicated life were included in his most significant exhibitions and were praised by artists and critics of his time as epitomizing modernity. Contextualizing Degass laundress works with those of his contemporaries, such as Gustave Caillebotte, Berthe Morisot, PierreAuguste Renoir, and Henri de ToulouseLautrec, this volume also looks at examples by painters that Degas influenced and was influenced by, from Honor Daumier to Pablo Picasso. Richly illustrated and featuring essays by an interdisciplinary group of authors, this study draws on art history, literature, and history to reveal how Degass stunning works take part in a more widespread debate concerning the topic of laundresses during the late nineteenth century.Distributed for the Cleveland Museum of ArtExhibition Schedule:The Cleveland Museum of Art(October 8, 2023January 14, 2024)
