Edgar Degas, Three dancers 1889 |
But one of the things I loved most was this drawing by Edgar Degas. It shows his beloved dancers, but this is not a painting, but a sketch, with pastels on green paper. Degas was an excellent drawer, I read somwhere that he was the only modern artist who could draw like Rembrandt and Titiaan.
I loved this sketch from the first moment I saw it. It is very simple, but you can still imagine the dancers getting ready for a perfomance or a lesson, checking their clothes and warming up the shoes so they will be ready in a moment.
A quick sketch like this shows what a great artist Edgar Degas was.
I love Degas! :)
ReplyDeleteDegas is amazing. I visited his grave at the cemetery of Montmartre!
DeleteKind regards,
That's so cool! I didn't get to that cemetery the last time I was in Paris, only Pere LeChaise.
DeleteI think the one in Montmartre is even more beautiful than Pere LaChaise, so hopefully you will have the time next time you are in Paris!
