Dancers, 1896. Creator: Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917)
Dancers, 1896. Degas depicted the ballet in more than 1, 000 paintings, prints, pastels, and sculptures. He preferred private, offstage moments to glamorous curtain calls or artfully contrived arrangements. Here, three dancers crowd together stretching in the wings, unaware of the viewers presence. Layers of yellow, orange, and pink pastel create a rough, deeply pitted surface characteristic of Degass late work in the medium. He invented special techniques that allowed him to build layer upon layer of colour with varying degrees of opacity and transparency. This pastels rich surface and intense, vibrating palette is the result of such innovative methods
