EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Waiting, c. 1882" by Edgar Degas transports us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century ballet. The pastel on beige laid paper captures a serene moment in time, as two ballerinas sit gracefully on a bench in a garden setting. The soft colors and delicate brushstrokes exemplify Degas' mastery of impressionism, an art movement that sought to capture fleeting moments and emotions. The women's elegant attire, including tutus and umbrellas, reflects the fashion of the era and adds a touch of whimsy to the scene. As we gaze at this artwork, we can almost hear the rustling of tulle and feel the anticipation in the air. These dancers exude poise and femininity as they patiently wait for their turn to perform. Their poised expressions hint at both excitement and composure. Degas' attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this painting – from the intricate folds of fabric to each blade of grass meticulously rendered. Through his skillful use of pastels, he brings life to these figures frozen in time. This print serves as a testament not only to Degas' talent but also to the enduring beauty and grace found within classical ballet. It invites us into a world where dreams are realized through dedication and discipline – where waiting becomes part of the dance itself.
