One of the best art books I've ever read.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I'm a professional artist so I buy a lot of art books. I received this book as a gift from an aunt and was amazed at how readable it is. there are plenty of art books with photos you want to pour over again and again, but I have found very few that are actually worthy of "reading", and fewer still as enjoyable as a good novel. This book, mostly through DeGas' own letters, relays his travels and struggles, loneliness and constant eye problems. I was a fan of "DeGas the artist" before reading this book, but since reading it several years ago, I've felt as if he's a dear old friend as well.
