The blue dancers - Edgar Degas
This work by Edgar Degas reveals a moment that is supposed to be hidden from the audience before the curtain rises. In a colorful and luminous setting, the artist lingers on the daily gestures of these dancers, who are preparing to go on stage: the adjustment of the bodice, the final touch to the hairstyle, the warm-up gestures... A moment full of reality is thus immortalized by a canvas full of life and movement. In his series of dancers we also find Dancers in Pink, Ballerinas Adjusting Their Tutus and Dancers in Pink and Green.
