French Impressionist Edgar Degas was known for his paintings of ballerinas and dancers, and in Star Dancer (On Stage), he glimpses into the life of female dancers in 1870s Paris. Originally completed in 1874, Degas vividly depicts the young star of a show completing an arabesque, owning the stage while other dancers wait in the wings. Although reality was far darker for dancers such as this one, in this moment on the stage, she is free from any troubles. Star Dancer was one of Degas’s most popular paintings from this period, during a time when he made extensive use of pastels for contrast, shadow effects and to capture humans in motion. The preciseness of her arms, head and feet is influenced Degas’ study of dance, and enhances the fantastic reality of the moment.
