EDGAR DEGAS
While he respected the tradition of the old Masters, Degas drew his inspiration from scenes of modern Paris, especially the ballet dancers of the Paris Opera.
Centering and displacing his models and representation of space, figures are often deliberately cut off by the edge of the picture.
His numerous ballet scenes demonstrate his other tendency to endlessly repeat themes
Degas: "one must paint the same subject 10 times, 100 times"
Laundresses, dancers and cabaret singers whom he loved to paint and draw had a reputation for loose morals, so his pictures were though shocking by both the general public and his family.
