 ok at the female form. Degas explores the beauty of unguarded moments. The
  nude figure was critical to the art of Edgar Degas from the beginning of 
 his career in the 1850s until the end of his working life\, but the subjec
 t has never before been explored in a Museum exhibition. &ldquo\;Degas and
  the Nude\,&rdquo\; co-organized by the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, and
  the Mus&eacute\;e d'Orsay in Paris\, features paintings\, pastels\, drawi
 ngs\, prints\, and sculpture\, and calls attention to the evolution of the
  treatment of the nude from Degas's early years\, through his triumphant o
 fferings from the 1880s and 1890s\, to the last decades of his working car
 eer.\nMore than three years in the making\, 'Degas and the Nude' was conce
 ived by George T. M. Shackelford\, chair\, Art of Europe and Arthur K. Sol
 omon Curator of Modern Art at the MFA\, who co-organized the exhibition wi
 th Xavier Rey\, Curator of Paintings\, Mus&eacute\;e d'Orsay. 'Our project
  explores how Degas exploited all of the body's expressive possibilities\,
 ' says Shackelford. 'It shows how his personal vision of the nude informed
  his notion of modernity\, and how he abandoned the classical or historica
 l form in favor of a figure seen in her own time and setting\, whether eng
 aged in shockingly carnal acts or just stepping out of an ordinary bath.'
 \nThe multimedia guide for the exhibition includes video of pastel and pri
 ntmaking techniques\, plus perspectives from a figure model\, a pastel art
 ist\, and others. With extensive commentary by curator George Shackelford\
 , the guide is narrated by Amanda Palmer\, singer/songwriter and formerly 
 of The Dresden Dolls.\n\nStart time: Museum Hours:\nMon&ndash\;Tue: 10 am&
