About Miss La La at the Cirque Fernando
The painting shows Miss La La suspended from the rafters of the circus dome by a rope clenched between her teeth. The sense of suspended animation in the scene is consistent with Degas's larger interest in capturing fleeting moments. This work is Degas's only circus painting. Unlike his contemporaries like Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Georges Seurat, the focus is not on the action within the ring or the crowd's reactions; the viewer sees the spectacle as the audience would have done, gazing up at the daring feat taking place above. The pose of Miss La La was carefully studied and designed by Degas. In his earlier studies, he experimented with the frontal view of Miss La La instead of the profile view. In the sketches, Miss La La's head turns backward, hiding her face from the audience, which is similar to her pose on posters advertising her performance. However, Degas later changed to the profile view, introducing more curves and arches as well as more movement. Some scholars have connected this pose to contemporary ethnographic photography, suggesting that the profile view turns the woman into "a representation of the race. By painting her in the profile view, Degas is not portraying her as merely a performer, but a representative for the women of colour and the working class. About the Large Art Prints
