This exhibition at MoMA explores Degas’ use of monotypes — featuring 120 of the rarely seen prints along with 50 other related works, including paintings, drawings, pastels and sketches — that show his willingness to embrace a new technique even as he continued to keep his eyes on the dance. moma.org
