EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Degas' bronze sculpture of a horse, titled "Horse Rearing," from an exhibition of the complete bronzes of the renowned French artist, Edgar Degas, held at the Abdy Gallery in December of circa 1930. The sculpture depicts a horse just beginning to rear, its powerful muscles tensed, poised on a square base. Degas, known primarily for his paintings, created only about 120 sculptures throughout his career, with the majority of them being bronze castings. The horse sculpture is a rare and intriguing addition to Degas' oeuvre, demonstrating his exceptional skill in capturing the dynamic energy and grace of the animal. The exhibition at the Abdy Gallery was a significant event, offering viewers a comprehensive look at Degas' sculptural works, which were often overlooked in favor of his paintings. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure and artistic mastery of Degas' sculpture, particularly in the representation of the horse, a subject that held great fascination for the artist throughout his life.
