EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic sculpture "Little Dancer of Fourteen Years" by Edgar Degas. Created between 1879 and 1881, this particular cast was made in 1921 using polychromed bronze, muslin, satin, and wood. The sculpture is currently held in a private collection. Degas' masterpiece captures the essence of a young ballet dancer with remarkable realism. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the piece - from the delicate folds of her cloth dress to the intricate gold ribbon adorning her bodice. Standing gracefully on one leg, she strikes a pose that exudes both strength and vulnerability. The sculpture itself has a controversial history due to its unconventional portrayal of an adolescent girl. At the time it was created, such realistic depictions were not commonly seen in art. However, Degas' willingness to challenge societal norms resulted in a truly groundbreaking work that continues to captivate audiences today. This print allows us to appreciate not only Degas' artistic skill but also his ability to capture fleeting moments with incredible precision. It serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty found within impressionist art and offers us insight into life during the late 19th century. Overall, this image provides an intimate glimpse into one of Degas' most celebrated works while highlighting his significant contributions to both French art and the world at large.
