Beauty in Motion:
Edgar Degas's Ballet Dancers
COMING SOON!
Let's go backstage with
one of Impressionism's
greatest artists!
Edgar Degas’s beautiful ballet dancers have captured the hearts of art enthusiasts the world over and become synonymous with the Impressionist movement. One might expect Degas’s seemingly countless images of this theme to focus primarily on the diaphanous tutus and graceful arabesques of pretty ballerinas as they flit across the stage. Closer observation, however, reveals that his primary interest lay elsewhere. Instead of repeatedly depicting the glitz and glamour of a full-dress performance, the artist became fascinated with what happened behind the scenes.
In this Masterclass, we pull back the curtain to reveal the world of ballet in 19th-century France, the manner in which Degas depicted its complexities and how this subject fits into the broader context of Impressionism.

Meet your host...
Hi, I'm Anik. I'm an art historian - with a PhD from the University of Cambridge to boot! - who is crazy about all things art. It's what I love, it's what I do.
I know from personal experience that learning about art not only provides a welcome break from the hustle of everyday life, it also teaches us about history, culture and the world around us.
I'm here to share that experience, along with my expertise and passion for the subject, so that you can broaden your knowledge and unleash your inner art connoisseur!
