Edgar degas houston exhibit

A great French artist’s unique perspective of ballet rehearsals, horse races, cafe scenes and other colorful sights can be seen in the film Degas: Passion for Perfection, which shows at 2 pm this Friday and Saturday (Jan.

11 and 12) at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

Degas is based on the highly acclaimed exhibition of the same name that debuted at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England, spanning a multitude of masterpieces produced by famed French artist and sculptor Edgar Degas, with many pieces that had never been seen before.

The exhibition evoked bouquets of accolades. The Evening Standard called it “stunning,” while The Financial Times observed, “The show offers insight rather than simply adulation.”

The Degas film screening is part of the “Armchair Travel: Exhibition on Screen” series, which has proven consistently popular at the MFAH.

This film should be a special
