Ellie Bartels, "Who was Edgar Degas Little Dancer?"
6:30 Parkview Community Room
Program: "Little Dancer Aged Fourteen". Edgar Degas is well represented in the history of art and is famous for his work in painting, drawing, printmaking and sculpture. His sculpture of a young dancer is also famous. You can admire her in Washington DC, Paris, London, New York, Dresden and Copenhagen. Yet we know virtually nothing about the girl that modeled for the sculpture. Camille Laurens, French novelist, has written a book that presents a portrait of the young dancer and explains how the sculpture was received when it was first exhibited. Curious? Come and learn the story of the real dancer, and the struggles of 19th C Parisian life.
A short meeting will follow the program.
"People call me the painter of dancing girls. It has never occurred to them that my chief interest in dancers lies in rendering movement and painting pretty clothes."
