Description

The Wait - Edgar Degas Collection Statue - Parastone - 9 cm

L’Attente (1882). Degas developed an interest in ballet at an early age and in 1872 he made his first studies of ballet dancers. He avoided the true drama, the performance itself. This distant approach seems a reflection of Degas’ own life. When one of his favourite models went to New York, the apparently uninterested bachelor followed her, sailing on the next boat only to return to France never having left the ship, exclaiming: ‘What more can we do than to show that one is able to follow a lady from Paris to New York?’

Edgar Degas (1834-1917) The course of life of the Parisian painter had few dramatic peaks. Being the eldest son of a well-to-do family, the cynical, snobby loner was able to devote his life to the arts. Furthermore, he remained a bachelor, because: ‘There is love and there is work, and we only have one heart.’ His classical education can be recognised in his earlier work, in particular the strict composition and lining inspired by Inges whom he greatly admired. Although he referred to himself as an ‘independent realist’, he was very much involved in the impressionistic revolution and the themes and techniques developed in his works are considered to have formed the synthesis between the traditional and modern art of painting.

Attributes: painted sculpture of a girl figure seated on a rectangular, dark brown block. The figure is dressed in a textured, off-white tutu with a light blue sash at the waist and matching light blue hair accessory pinned to a bun. The figure's torso is hunched forward, with one arm resting across the lap and the other hand reaching down toward a ballet slipper on the right foot. Both feet are fitted with light-colored shoes featuring crisscrossed ankle straps. The sculpture's surface shows visible brushstrokes and textures, with reddish-brown tones in the hair and pale skin tones on the limbs and back.
