Dancers in pink and green - Edgar 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 a drawing more and more cursive which confers to the painting a surprising expressive value. In his series of dancers we also find Blue Dancers, Ballerinas adjusting their tutus and Dancers in pink and green.
