The Link to Degas

This article is about recently finding Degas sculptures that are nearly a century old.  No one knows where they came from. There were 74 Degas plasters found in the found in a warehouse. I completely agree with the author when he states, “it was the equivalent of opening King Tut’s tomb in Egypt or uncovering the terracotta warriors in China.”  The artist’s close friend Paul-Albert Bartholomé is assumed to have made these plasters but they are not completely sure. Examination will tell the authentication of these sculptures.  It kind of relates back to we  don’t know who the artist are of some of the works in back in ancient times just like we think that these are Degas Sculptures but there is not 100 percent proof that it is.
