The works of Edgar Degas inspired several artistic movements, primarily Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Degas was known for his unique approach to capturing movement, particularly in his depictions of dancers, horse races, and everyday scenes. His innovative use of perspective and composition influenced artists to explore light, color, and form in new ways. As a result, movements such as Fauvism and even elements of Cubism can trace influences back to Degas' techniques. His focus on realism and the human experience helped to reshape 19th-century art and continue to resonate with contemporary artists today.
