Dancers in pink - Edgard Degas
During his early years in the 1860s, Edgar Degas made the Paris Opera the main subject of his work. He explored its various moments and spaces: the regular training sessions, the backstage and the stage. Here, the artist masters elliptical shortcuts and the practice of close-ups. He knows how to synthesize a series of movements, suggested by an increasingly cursive drawing that gives the painting a surprisingly expressive value. In his series of dancers we also find Blue Dancers, Ballerinas Adjusting Their Tutus and The Pink Dancers, before the ballet.
