EDGAR DEGAS AND GEORGE W. THORNLEY La Toilette.
EDGAR DEGAS AND GEORGE W. THORNLEY
La Toilette.
Lithograph, circa 1888-89. 241x198 mm; 91/2x77/8 inches, wide (full ?) margins. Edition of 100. Printed by Atelier Becquet, Paris. Published by Boussod-Valadon, Paris. From Quinze Lithographies. A very good, strong impression.
Degas was likely influenced to work with the lithographer Thornley by Theo Van Gogh, the influential director of the Boussod-Valadon Gallery, because of Thornley's masterful lithographic interpretations of drawings by Puvis de Chavannes. By 1888, Degas and Thornley were working together to produce a portfolio of 15 lithographs based on drawings by Degas. The portfolio was issued in 1889 in an edition of 100, plus an additional 25 copies with each of the prints signed by both artists. Reed Shapiro p. lvii.
