Degas as a painter is usually lumped into the Impressionist category, but, unlike the others of that crowd, he relied a great deal on the use of line in his works. Some of his early portraits fall into a category somewhere between drawings and paintings, and it was by producing a series of monotypes that he finally resolved the conflict between lines and areas of color in his work. Monotypes are made somewhat like lithographs, but only one image is produced, and, in Degas's work, it was then colored in with pastels. Lenore Hill has made studies of Degas...
Boston Museum of Fine Arts. A few years ago the MFA shuffled its French impressionist paintings from permanent display to the special exhibition rooms, presenting the rerun of these favorites as a new show.

Piano and Paintbrush. After arriving in the U.S. in 1953 with his own folk-dance company, Holder spent two years as a principal dancer with the Metropolitan Opera Ballet.

As an actor, he has appeared on Broadway (the 1957 revival of Waiting for Godot) and in films (Live and Let Die, Doctor Dolittle). He is the author...
...through eyelets, misty flowered voiles, and chiffons. "Clothes," he says, "should be mysterious, sexy and feminine." He claims to be an "incurable romantic" and recalls that he has sat through Gone With the Wind 35 times (which hardly qualifies him as a romantic). He gets fashion inspirations from Impressionist art and some of his dresses could be (more or less) out of a Renoir painting...
