조각 소개

During his lifetime, Edgar Degas exhibited only one of his wax sculptures and cast three in plaster. Immediately after his death, 72 of his waxes were cast in bronze editions of 22 to 25 examples each. Given the scarcity of documentary evidence, the original dates of execution for nearly all the waxes are simply not known.

Edgar Degas의 생애 속 이 작품

생애 전체 보기
  1. 1870s

    From “de Gas” back to plain “Degas”

    The archives disproved the legend of an ancient noble line: the artist's paternal ancestors were bakers, and the name “de Gas” was invented by his father, who commissioned a false genealogy. In the 1870s Edgar returned to the plain spelling, Degas.

  2. second half of the 1870s

    Pastel becomes his main medium

    Degas increasingly chose pastel, often combining it with monotype, lithography, etching or gouache. To keep the colour from darkening under ordinary fixatives he devised his own method of fixing and applied pastel in layers.

  3. autumn 1879 – April 1880

    The prints journal: Degas abruptly withdraws

    In the autumn and winter of 1879–1880 Degas and Cassatt worked closely together on a prints journal; he owned a small printing press. In April 1880 Degas abruptly withdrew, and without his support the project folded.

  4. by 1880

    The end of his financial crisis

    By 1880 Degas had fully overcome his financial crisis and become a respected figure in the Paris art world; the Impressionist exhibitions, which proved commercially useful to him, helped.

  5. 1881

    “The Little Dancer of Fourteen Years” on show

    The nearly life-size wax figure with real hair and a cloth tutu, modelled on Marie van Goethem, provoked a strong reaction: critics found its realism extraordinary, but many denounced the dancer as ugly. It was the only sculpture Degas showed in his lifetime.

  6. by 1882

    His eyesight sharply worsens

    By 1882 Degas's eyesight began to worsen sharply: he turned to pastel and then to sculpture, where he could rely more on touch.
