Product description
The rush of stage lights and the rustle of tulle come alive in this masterwork of motion, where a swaying dancer art print captures the breathless energy of the Paris Opera. Degas utilized soft pastels to render the ballerina’s shimmering green tutu as she balances mid-performance, her form contrasting against the warm orange and gold hues of the background figures.
About Edgar Degas
Edgar Degas worked in pastel, oil and sculpture, and often used unusual, cropped viewpoints inspired by photography. His soft pastel colour suits bedrooms, dressing areas and calm living spaces. Impressionist painters often used pure, unmixed colours placed side by side to create vibrancy. The original dates from 1879.
Styling this Edgar Degas print
Green, gold and orange tones give this Edgar Degas print a vibrant character that holds a room. In a bedroom, “Swaying Dancer in Green” works as a 24×36″ statement piece above a console, or at 12×18″ to 16×20″ in a hallway or gallery wall. Finish “Swaying Dancer in Green” with a black or antique-gold frame: its green, gold and orange palette sits beautifully with houseplants, terracotta and cream textiles.
