DEGAS’S LITTLE DANCER OF FOURTEEN YEARS
DEGAS’S LITTLE DANCER OF FOURTEEN YEARS
Viewing instructions will be provided before the class starts
Carol Tabler via Zoom
When first exhibited in the 6th Impressionist Exhibition of 1881, Degas’s sculpture of a teenage ballerina (National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.) was controversial, even considered shockingly ugly. Now she has achieved well-deserved iconic status. Let us roll back the clock, re-imagine the act of creation, and search for her original meaning. How do other works by Degas about the subject of the dance, both painted and drawn, interrelate with her? What motivated him to make her come alive in three dimensions and physically enter our world in such a compelling way?
