Happy #TutuTuesday! We’re celebrating with a tour through works in our collection that feature dancers, beginning with this work on paper by #Degas. . Edgar Degas was a prolific painter and draftsman, and his ability to capture motion on the page lends itself beautifully well to a subject that makes up more than half of his works: dancers. While some of his paintings and drawings feature dancers on stage, Degas was particularly interested in portraying moments behind the scenes, such as groups of young students in classes or a ballerina practicing in rehearsal. .
