007-004 Edgar Degas "The Ballet of the Paris Opera Keychain

■ Edgar Doga French impressionist and sculptor. Many of Doga's paintings are interior-styled, and many of them are especially inspired by ballet dancers and yujo. Their ability to capture the casual movements that they show for a moment is excellent. ■ "Ballet at the Paris Opera" Doga often combined with techniques to draw. This work also combines a monotype (a type of woodblock print) with pastel. The pastel was easily fragile and delicate, called "butterfly feather powder", and was the perfect medium for expressing the delicate beauty of young dancers. ■Data: Edgar Degas "Ballet at the Paris Opéra" (1874) The Museum of Chicago Collection
