Bon anniversaire to French impressionist painter, lithographer, etcher and sculptor Edgar Degas, born on this day in 1834! Degas had a sound knowledge of classical ballet and its different positions. These two pieces (shown from different angles) depict the poses known as 'arabesque' and 'grande arabesque.' Preferring an improvisational method of working when sculpting, Degas mixed plasteline and wax, built his own makeshift armatures and stuffed the forms with materials such as sponges, matches, cork discs and cloth plugs. Degas’s penchant for unusual and difficult poses led to the collapse of many of his sculptures. —partially excerpted from Millard, “The Sculpture of Edgar Degas,” New Jersey 1976, p.37, via @テート・ギャラリー #lacma #hbd #EdgarDegas #Degas #ballerinas #ballet #grandearabesque
