Edgar Degas

Edgar Degas was a french artist who automatically caught my attention because he focused on these sculptures that he made about ballerinas. They were bronze and beautiful, and he was also known for his great ability to do impressionism. I have been doing ballet since I was 3 years old, and I appreciate his simplicity when it came to showing each ballerinas gracefulness. Not only because I am a dancer, but because I am also a lover of art. Edgar Degas was a master of movement which is why he was so fond of dance, daily routines, and expression. I picked him to be my artist because not only did he inspire me already, but because I can never get bored by looking at his work. It's like watching a movie and realizing something new in each scene, no matter how matter times you have seen the movie. His work is so devine, and I feel as though he has paved the way for artist today, when it comes to showing movement, facial expressions, psychological issues and human isolation.
