简介
Degas’s mastery in the depiction of movement
"No art could be less spontaneous than mine. Inspiration, spontaneity,
temperament are unknown to me. One has to do the same subject ten times, even
a hundred times over. In art, nothing should look like chance, not even
movement."—Edgar Degas
In terms of both theme and technique, the key to understanding the early work
of Edgar Degas (1834–1917) is classical painting. Although he was eventually
associated with the Impressionists and even participated in their joint
exhibitions, Degas never adopted a purely Impressionist approach.
Degas’s work, reflecting an extremely personal and psychological perspective,
emphasizes the scenic or concentrates on the detail. Thus, Degas’s painting is
often discussed with reference to the rise of short-exposure photography.
Thematically, nature proved less interesting to the artist than the life and
inhabitants of the modern metropolis. Degas primarily sought his motifs at the
race track or circus, in bedrooms, or in ballet salons—and dancers always
remained his favorite theme.
