Synopsis

This film shows a superb exhibition at The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. With its extensive collection of French artist, Edgar Degas’ work, it is the most representative in Britain, to the streets of Paris. It tells the fascinating story of Degas’ obsessive pursuit for perfection by experimenting with new techniques and studying past masters. Using written accounts by friends and commentators, and the narration of letters written by Degas himself, this film reveals a more complex truth behind one of the most influential French artists of the late 19th century
