Four ballet dancers on stage

Date: 1885-90
Medium: pastel
Location: Museu de Arte, Sao Paulo, Brazil

The painting shows a group of ballet dancers in motion. Stylistically it is an impressionistic work with blurred contours and bright colours. The dancers are wearing typical ballet costumes - tutus. The colours in the painting are mixed with an emphasis on warm tones such as orange and pink, and cool tones of blue. The scene is dynamic and offers a sense of movement and lightness. It is evident that the artist has focused on capturing the moment and atmosphere rather than working out the details of the characters.

Edgar Degas (1834-1917). French painter and sculptor. He is considered one of the founders of Impressionism, although he called himself a realist. As an 1870s painter associated with dance, over half his works are devoted to depicting ballerinas, ballet performances and practices. His portrayal of motion is one of the most perfect seen. He also devoted himself to portraiture, and his portraits and nudes are among the most admired in history.
