Edgar Degas | The Ballet dancers

Among the supreme masterpieces of the century are Degas's pictures of the ballet and its dancers.

The impulse towards painting the contemporary scene came to him not only from Gustave Courbet (1819-1877) and Manet (1832-1883) but from his friend, the critic Duranty, the exponent of the aesthetics of naturalism.

Yet in the particular direction of his tastes and his conception of design he was entirely individual.

To study and convey movement was a chosen task, first undertaken on the race course and then in his many pictures of the Opera, viewed from behind the scenes, in the wings, or from the orchestra stalls during a performance.

Anna Bocek 1973

Anna Bocek, born 1973. Study at Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, Poland, Faculty of Painting Set Design. Diploma in 1999. Undoubtedly, such mainspring of art for me is theatre - the most important source of inspiration and spiritual experiences both, as a viewer and an artist.
