EDGAR DEGAS and GEORGE W
EDGAR DEGAS and GEORGE W. THORNLEY
L'Attente de la chanteuse.
Lithograph printed in mauve ink on rose toned chine appliqué on a greenish blue wove backing sheet, circa 1888-89. 250x138 mm; 9 7/8x5 1/2 inches, wide margins. Edition of 100. Printed by Atelier Becquet, Paris. Published by Boussod-Valadon, Paris. From Quinze Lithographies. A very good, strong impression of this scarce print.
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.
