1834 -1917 · Portrait, ballet and modern life at the Musée d'Orsay
The Musée d'Orsay brings together a broad and demanding Degas: family portrait, music, ballet, races and scenes of care show how drawing orders modern life.
The collections of the Musée d'Orsay allow us to follow Edgar Degas from his formative years to late research on dance and movement. The Bellelli Family, conceived during his Italian stay, unites monumental ambition, psychological portrait and family tension. In ballet scenes, the artist prefers repetition, waiting and work with spectacular effect. Musicians, jockeys, women in their toilet and everyday figures broaden this investigation into gesture. Oil, pastel, drawing and sculpture continually dialogue: Degas moves his motifs from one technique to another, reframes them and takes them up until he finds a composition that seems immediate while remaining deeply constructed. The "Degas at the Musée d'Orsay" selection notably compares Mademoiselle Dihau on the piano and Rehearsal of a ballet on stage. His reading favors movement.
In Orsay, Degas moved from family portraiture to ballet stage without changing method: observe, draw, take up and build.
