EDITORS COMMENTS
**Grand Arabesque: First Time**
In this exquisite print of a bronze sculpture by French Impressionist master Edgar Degas (1834-1917), we witness a moment of poise and balance as the young woman stands in an arabesque pose, her arm raised elegantly above her head. Modeled circa 1880s and cast between 1919-1921, this stunning work showcases Degas' mastery of capturing the human form in motion.
The subject's bare feet are grounded firmly on the floor, while her body appears to defy gravity as she reaches out with one hand, conveying a sense of movement and energy. The subtle play of light across her skin adds depth and dimensionality to the piece, drawing our gaze into its intricate details.
As part of Degas' oeuvre in sculpture, **Grand Arabesque: First Time** exemplifies his fascination with capturing the beauty and elegance of the human form, often through depictions of dancers or ballerinas. This print is a testament to his innovative approach to art-making during the late 19th century.
Housed at institutions such as the Clark Art Institute, this iconic work continues to inspire generations of artists, art historians, and enthusiasts alike. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke emotions through subtle gestures and poses that speak volumes about human experience.
