Degas Monotypes

About the exhibition

The Fogg Art Museum presented Degas Monotypes in 1968. The documented selection includes works by Degas and a monotype by Paul Gauguin that was not in the catalogue. The source explicitly distinguishes that uncatalogued work from the numbered entries. Exact surviving examples are Edgar Degas’s The Green Room (c. 1876/1877; monotype (black ink) on laid paper mounted by the artist on heavy white wove paper), listed as no. 50 and Edgar Degas’s The Road (La route) (c. 1878/1880; monotype on China paper), listed as no. 63. This is a partial checklist reconstructed from the objects’ museum histories; precise opening and closing days remain unknown.
