“Dancer” — Edgar Degas, 1892

In his late years, Degas pared his ballet scenes down to their essence: a single dancer, poised mid-step, rendered in bold pastel strokes with a freedom that startled his contemporaries. This striking study shows the mature Degas at his most modern — less the reporter of the ballet than its poet.

Degas returned to dancers for fifty years, and late masterworks like this one, with their blazing colour and gestural energy, influenced a generation of artists from Matisse to Picasso. A powerful, elegant image for the wall of any dance lover or modernist.
