Edgar Degas
Edgar De Gas was born on July 19, 1834, at 8 rue Saint-Georges in Paris. ... The family name "Degas" had been changed to "De Gas" by some family members in Naples and France in order to sound more aristocratic. ... Degas went back to using the original spelling sometime after 1870, and that is how we spell his name today.
Degas was destined for a law career, but instead entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he studies with Louis Lamothe. ... Degas was associated with the Impressionists, taking an active part in their first exhibitions, but his individual choice of subject matter, handling of composition, and emphasis of drawing distinguished his works from theirs.
