EDITORS COMMENTS
**Swaying Dancer (Dancer in Green), 1877**
In this exquisite print of a ballerina, French Impressionist master Edgar Degas captures the essence of movement and elegance. The dancer's flowing green dress seems to swirl around her like a whirlwind as she pirouettes across the stage. With her gaze fixed on some distant point, she appears lost in thought, oblivious to our scrutiny.
Degas' use of pastel and gouache on paper creates a soft, ethereal quality that draws us into the dancer's world. The subtle color palette allows her figure to take center stage, while the delicate folds of her dress seem to shimmer like silk in the light.
This print is a testament to Degas' innovative approach to capturing movement and his fascination with the art of ballet. As one of the most celebrated Impressionist artists, he continues to inspire generations with his unique blend of observation, creativity, and technical skill.
**Edgar Degas (1834-1917)**
French artist Edgar Germain Hilaire Degas was a leading figure in the development of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. His work often explored themes related to dance, music, and everyday life in late 19th-century Paris. This print is part of his extensive oeuvre, which includes numerous works on paper that showcase his mastery of pastel and gouache techniques.
**Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza**
This stunning print is now held in the esteemed collection at Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, Spain. As a testament to Degas' enduring legacy, it continues to captivate audiences with its beauty and artistry.
