Frieze of Dancers, c. 1895. Creator: Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917)
Frieze of Dancers, c. 1895. This painting may depict a single dancer seen from four different viewpoints. The young woman is placed in an undefined setting, surrounded by mere wisps of colour, applied so spontaneously that the paint ran and dripped. Degas even added the circles in the foreground with his thumb. Such audacity, while acceptable in a small sketch, must have shocked the artists contemporaries when presented on a six-foot canvas. Equally radical is the idea of combining multiple views of a single figure. Degass unusual presentation may have been inspired by the photographs of Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904)
