The Clark has an exhibition exploring the connection between the work of Picasso and Degas called:
“Pablo Picasso is said to have remarked that “good artists copy; great artists steal.” Throughout his long and prolific career, Picasso often made works of art in response to his predecessors, “quoting” famous compositions by Rembrandt, Delacroix, Manet, and others in his own paintings. In his youth, contemporaries also noted the influence of Edgar Degas in Picasso’s paintings of cabarets and cafés, portraits, women bathing, and ballet dancers—subjects that had come to define the older French artist’s work.”
