Ballet Dancers

During more than 40 years of his working life, Edgar Degas made hundreds of drawings, pastels, prints, paintings, and sculptures of the ballet, the variety and subtlety of which often has been underestimated. The artist's lifelong fascination for this world conveys both the vitality and the fragile glamour of the theater. One of today's leading Degas specialists conveys the world that the artist captured.
