Edgar Degas: Defining the Modernist Edge

Edgar Degas (1834-1917) was known and admired as a master draftsman, an innovative explorer of sculpture, painting, and printing, and an acute observer of modern life. With his unique use of cropping as a compositional tool, his recycling of anatomical and compositional forms as vocabulary for larger scenes, and his reapplication of traditional drawing and sculpting techniques in ways that challenged the traditional artistic practice, Degas helped define the edge of modernism in visual culture. This small but comprehensive exhibit includes 20 examples of the artist's etchings, paintings, and sculpture.

The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare, directed by Mark Lamos

The familiar tale of Kate and Petruchio comes to the Yale Rep stage with "retro-revolutionary" direction. While the play uses an all-male company of actors as would have been done in Shakespeare's time, it is set in today's Latino world with elements of modern media, video, and documentary art.
