Description
There’s something so alluring about ballerinas, which must be why Edgar Degas couldn’t stop painting them. In “Dancers in Pink,” Degas tackles his favorite subject with bold colors and close-up figures. This was a bit of a different take on his behind-the-scenes looks at ballet since he often focused on subjects in motion rather than those waiting to take the stage. In this striking image, ballerinas wait in the wings before a performance. The bright pink hues of their dresses immediately draw the eye, which is why this piece is sure to look stunning in any space. Once you take a closer look, however, you can see the influence of Impressionism in the background, which Degas created with tapped brush strokes and moody, darker tones. Created in 1885, this painting is now worth millions. But you can own a beautiful oil painting reproduction for yourself when you buy “Dancers in Pink” by Edgar Degas from overstockArt.
