One of the current exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago showcases this pursuit of immediacy in Degas’ oeuvre through a range of drawings (including those seen in this blog), pastels, and oils. Entitled “Degas: At the Track, On the Stage,” this installation is one view through February 2016.

Degas began by copying Italian Renaissance paintings at the Louvre and trained in the studio of Louis Lamothe, who taught in the traditional academic style, with its emphasis on line and its insistence on the crucial importance of draftsmanship.

The artwork entitled “Portrait of an Italian” is a creation by the artist Edgar Degas, dating back to 1856. This charcoal piece is a representation within the genre of portraiture and exhibits traits of the Impressionist movement, although Degas’s body …

The two poses seen here—the brooding dancer with her head in her hands and the dancer adjusting a slipper—were so striking that Degas incorporated them into several other works. Here he rendered the outlines with his boldest, most powerful strokes, smudged the charcoal for coloration in some areas, and then added white chalk for dramatic ...
