FRENCH LANGUAGE
"I would like to be illustrious and unknown," said Edgar Degas. Illustrated, he is, by his dancers, his jockeys, his women in the bath.
Also unknown, as these themes obscure the rest of the work, history paintings, portraits, landscapes, as much as the work has devoured private life.
