Style & Grace Painted in 1895, Degas’ “Dancers in Blue” has an intimate quality that pulls the viewer in immediately. The group of ballerinas are huddled together in a quiet yet energized moment that is taking place just before they are about to go onstage. He was able to capture the striking poses and natural grace of the dancers in a unique way. Though it is one of many studies of female dancers Degas created during his career, this one is especially noticeable for its use of a bold, bright blue hue. This ties the group of dancers together and sets them apart from the surrounding scenery, making them look especially whimsical and youthful. Impressionist Technique Edgar Degas is widely considered to be one of the founders of the Impressionist movement. In this painting, he exhibits his masterful skill of capturing light and movement with soft, blurred brush strokes. Unlike his Impressionist contemporaries, Degas often painted scenes taking place indoors. His focus on human subjects rather than natural landscapes makes him a remarkable figure during this movement in art history.
