Item Details
Description
This lot consists of a mixed media (oil and gouache) painting on canvas board, done in the soft, tasteful style of Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917). Image depicts two illuminated ballet dancers at rehearsal. Full of life and movement, this Impressionist piece would be a fine addition to any collector's gallery. Framed measurements approximately 24" x 27.75"; image sight approximately 13.25" x 17.5".
Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917) was a French artist famous for his paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings. He is especially associated with the subject of the theatre; more than half of his works depict ballet dancers. Regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, Degas rejected the term, preferring to be called a Realist. He was a superb draftsman and particularly masterly in depicting movement, which can clearly be seen in his rendition of dancers, racecourse subjects, and anatomical studies. His portraits are notable for their psychological complexity and for their portrayal of human isolation.
