Conclusion
Manzi’s perfection of the process of chromogravure enabled Degas, one who was classically wary of criticism and explication of his work, to join with Manzi within the experimental processes of the medium to accurately reproduce a fundamental part of his oeuvre. The result, Vingt dessins, is a collaborative endeavor by two individuals who respected each other’s’ talents, and who utilized them to create a curated compendium of Degas’ growth and legacy as a draftsman.
