The Pink Dancers, Before the Ballet - Edgar Degas
In search of essentiality, Edgard Degas followed the dancers of the Paris Opera during their regular training, backstage and on stage. The artist produced a large number of works dedicated to them, all as varied in their themes as in the techniques employed. In this work, the gestures that he suggests through pure lines and dazzling colors have a surprisingly expressive value.

Né à Paris dans une famille bourgeoise aisée, Edgar Degas (1834-1917) abandonne rapidement ses études de droit. Assidu visiteur du musée du Louvre, il montre une aptitude exceptionnelle pour le dessin en copiant des artistes tels que Rembrandt. Vivant sur la fortune familiale et ne cherchant pas de profit pécuniaire pour son art, il étudie la peinture en 1855 dans l'atelier de Louis Lamothe, élève d'Ingres. L'héritage artistique d'Ingres fascinera Degas et l'inspirera toute sa vie durant. Considéré comme un impressionniste, Degas se revendique fermement réaliste. Il participera cependant à plusieurs expositions impressionnistes de 1874 à 1886. Au début des années 1870, Degas est atteint d'une cécité progressive. Aveuglé par la lumière du soleil, il ne peindra presque plus que des scènes d'intérieur, avec un éclairage artificiel, contrairement aux impressionnistes de son temps.
