Product description
Unlike his contemporaries who favored grand stage panoramas, Edgar Degas frequently chose the unorthodox viewpoint of the musician’s pit to frame his subjects. This print captures the intense focus of the cello and violin players, their dark forms anchoring the bottom of the frame.
About Edgar Degas
Edgar Degas (1834–1917) exhibited with the Impressionists but preferred to call himself a realist. Degas is best known for ballet dancers, painted rehearsing and resting as often as performing. Impressionist painters often used pure, unmixed colours placed side by side to create vibrancy. The original image dates from 1874. Impressionism emerged in France in the 1870s, with artists painting outdoors to capture light and atmosphere.
Styling this Edgar Degas print
This Edgar Degas print has a moody presence that sets the tone of a room. Choose 24×36″ to make “Orchestra Musicians” the focal point of a bedroom, or 11×14″ to 16×20″ for a bedside or hallway wall. Finish “Orchestra Musicians” with a black or antique-gold frame for a clean, gallery-style look. Build a gallery wall around “Orchestra Musicians”: add two or three smaller prints that echo its colours and keep the gaps to 2–3 inches.
