Abstract
American art of the 20th century is richer than one can think. The Ash can school, cubism, precisionism , biomorphism etc One of the big movements was regionalism, of which edward hopper was a leader. But people often forget that hopper not only painted landscapes, street scenes and light but also nudes. Naked women were not just objects on which light reflected itself; they were real entities that deserved to be studied. One can find in them degas's inspiration; let's take a closer look. Born in France, degas studied art at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After that, he went to Italy where he stayed for five years studying and copying meticulously the old masters of the Renaissance. His decision to study the old masters was typical of his personality - that of a perfectionist. His favorite subjects were scenes from the world of entertainment and later from everyday life.
