Description
Degas’ Blue Dancers is another great example of what Degas does best: close-up examinations of dancers honing their craft. The dancers look away, adjusting their costumes or practicing their dance moves in anticipation of their next show on the Paris stage. Meanwhile, the viewer is given a sneak peek and invited into their world for a brief, shining moment. Each costume and body is vividly recreated with vertical brush strokes, mimicking Degas’ unique style. Degas was a regular on the Paris ballet circuit and composed hundreds of these scenes over the course of his career. As a result, he was an expert like no other at depicting very precise movements, particularly of arms and legs. Our hand-painted reproduction measures 20″ x 24″. It is truly a beautiful homage to dance and its female performers.
