Edgar Degas

Edgar Degas was a French artist known for his exceptional paintings, sculptures, and drawings, particularly of ballet dancers and everyday scenes. Active in the late 19th century, he was associated with Impressionism but preferred to work in a more structured style. Degas focused on capturing movement and human emotion, often experimenting with unusual perspectives and angles. His use of color and light added depth to his works, making them vibrant and dynamic. Today, he is celebrated for his ability to evoke the beauty and grace of modern life, particularly the world of dance, through innovative techniques and compositions.
