1869 -1895 · effort, fatigue and laundry light
Outstretched arms, heavy iron, white linen and yawn give Degas ironers a worker presence captured without heroization or caricature.
Degas approached washers and ironers for more than twenty-five years. The first isolated figures are often seen against the light, their silhouette standing out in front of the light linen. Around 1884 -1886, he insistently took up a composition with two women: one yawns while carrying a bottle or stretching her arm, the other presses with all her weight on the iron. The Musée d'Orsay retains the third of four similar variations. Painted on a coarse unprepared canvas, it reveals the brown of linen in places; Painted on a coarse unprepared canvas, it reveals in places the brown of linen; This rugged surface makes pastel colors vibrate and contributes to the impression of material fatigue. The subject dialogues with concerns contemporary naturalists, notably Zola's L'Assommoir, but Degas focuses on ephemeral and everyday gestures. The "Repasseuses de Degas" selection notably compares Une femme ironant and La ironseuse. His reading favors details.
Iron, the table and the body form a single working mechanism in Degas, interrupted only by fatigue.
