"L'Étoile (The Star)" by Edgar Degas is a famous painting depicting a lone ballerina on the stage, the stage lighting shining brilliantly onto her and her performance. Degas's enduring interest in the human figure was shaped by his academic training, but he approached it in innovative ways. He captured strange postures from unusual angles under artificial light. He rejected the academic ideal of the mythical or historical subject, and instead sought his figures in modern situations, such as at the ballet. |
