"Readers will come away with a refreshed understanding of how Degas and Cassatt led a group of iconoclasts who dreamed of novel ways to invite people from different backgrounds to engage in art." -- Seattle Book Review "Rubio's research in Degas & Cassatt gives great merit to the biography.Readers will never look at the paintings, or the artists, the same way again."-- Jeff Provine, BlogCritics " It's a wordy, thoughtful book that dives deeply into Degas's artistic impulses and driving passions, presented in mostly soft colors that somewhat mimic Degas's own work."-- Andrew Wheeler, The Antick Musings of G.B.H. Hornswoggler, Gent.
