Degas, Impressionism, and the Paris Millinery Trade

This book covers the millinery trade in Paris at its height from 1870 to 1914. It has articles about the history of the millinery craft, and the Impressionistic painters whose studios were near the millinery district, and who were enchanted by millinery artists. There are many historic images and photos of hats of that era from museums. It is a truly amazing book.

Interesting book. A few Degas drawings I'd not seen before. Other artists too.

Excellent analysis of this historical period linking fine art with millinery and the artist who captured and documented the creators.

Beautifully produced book for an exhibit I couldn't see. Love the narrative and spent significant time with the gorgeous pictures..just starring.

Love Impressionist art so love this book!

A Christmas gift
