Reproduces many of Degas's photographic portraits (mostly taken in 1895) in the the form of duotone and tritone plates. The photographs - chiefly of family and friends, and never publicly displayed in the artist's lifetime - feature in a travelling exhibition opening in New York in October 1998.
Lisette Model's (1901-1982) career spanned the twentieth century. The legacy of her art and teachings influenced generations of photographers. She died nearly penniless in 1982, and the dozens of boxes of photographs she left behind remained stored away until now. Model's work, when published, is usually a selection of her signature images. Though many of these are included in this book, hundreds of other photographs have remained unpublished or seldom seen. Visually, this is the definitive book of her work. Portfolios include Promenade des Anglais (1930s), Reflections and Running Legs (1930s-1940s), New York and the Lower East Side (1940's), Westminster Dog Show (1946), Reno Divorcees (1949), Jazz (1940s -1960s), Circus (1946), Belmont Park (1956), and Rome (1955).
