ART EXHIBITION
Edgar Degas
The Private Impressionist: Works on Paper by the Artist and His Circle
On display November 15, 2025 through February 1, 2026
Esther B. O’Keeffe Building, 102 Four Arts Plaza
Sunday: 1 to 5 p.m. Monday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Tuesday: 1 to 5 p.m. (Four Arts members only)
Wednesday through Saturday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Edgar Degas (1834–1917) is one of the most revered artists of all time. The French Impressionist is renowned for his paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings that capture the world of late 19th-century Paris. The Private Impressionist illuminates lesserknown aspects of his career and life through a selection of 104 rare works on paper by Degas and his contemporaries. This exhibition sheds light on the personality of the complex man and the artists he called friends, and reveals his eclecticism, both in diversity of subject matter and in his experimentation with techniques.
Organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA in association with Denenberg Fine Arts, West Hollywood, CA.
Edgar Degas (French, 1834–1917) and Auguste Clot (French, active 19th century), Before the Race, ca. 1895. Color lithograph on lightweight tan wove paper. Photo courtesy of Robert Flynn Johnson.
