SUMMARY
"...Benfey [has] portrayed...carefully the historical and family background to degas' New Orleans visit before examining his work. One of his startling discoveries is evidence of racial intermarriage in Degas' ancestry, something that art historians seem to have ignored....Strictly speaking, [this] book is neither art history, literary criticism nor social history. It combines the best aspects of all three disciplines in prose that is unfailingly clear and observant.Benfey, Christopher E. is the author of 'Degas in New Orleans Encounters in the Creole World of Kate Chopin and George Washington Cable' with ISBN 9780520218185 and ISBN 0520218183.
