EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "The Star (L'Etoile), 1878 - A Captivating Glimpse into the World of Ballet". This enchanting print captures Edgar Degas' masterpiece, "The Star (L'Etoile)" painted in 1878. Housed in the prestigious Musee d'Orsay in Paris, this iconic artwork showcases Degas' profound talent and deep appreciation for the world of ballet. Within an intimate interior setting, a graceful ballerina takes center stage as she stretches her arms outstretched towards the heavens. Her elegant tutu adds to the ethereal beauty of her presence, while her poised posture reflects years of dedication and discipline required by her profession. Degas, one of the leading figures of Impressionism during the late 19th century, expertly captures both movement and emotion through his use of pastel on paper. The soft colors and delicate strokes create a dreamlike atmosphere that transports viewers into a timeless moment within this bustling art form. As we gaze upon this image from T. W. Earp's publication "French Painting" we are reminded not only of Degas' artistic brilliance but also how ballet has long been regarded as an occupation filled with grace and passion. This photograph serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate both the skillful craftsmanship behind such masterpieces and the enduring allure that ballet holds even today. With each glance at this remarkable print from Avalon Press's collection curated by The Print Collector29
