Halo.. This is Degas’s.. Don’t talk nonsense about the above.. Degas (1834-1917) Edgar Degas is an Impressionist with traditional precise sketching and Impressionist color style. The combination of painters is known as "classical impressionism". Degas himself said that he was a "colour painter using lines". Degas is the son of a banker. He received a good education since childhood. He already had a high level of painting before entering the Academy of Fine Arts at the age of 21. After entering the academy, he received strict basic training in painting. He was fortunate to be taught by Ingres, a master of classicism. Advice: As a young man, if you want to stand out, you should draw sketches, draw from memory and sketch from life, and draw more lines. Degas will be remembered forever. It is said that when he was dying, he asked someone to inscribe on his tombstone "He loved sketching all his life" (some say "line"), so Degas insisted on combining classical shapes with Impressionist colors throughout his life. The works always show a serious and meticulous realistic style. Degas was influenced by classicism in his early days and admired Ingres, but the talented and keen painter always kept pace with the times. Degas's life works have a profound foundation in classical modeling, but they are more of a romantic temperament, and in various forms The characters also reflect naturalistic tendencies. In the language of painting itself - in the expression of colors and lines, it is romanticism and then impressionism. He is a painter who is good at drawing on the strengths of others while insisting on his own opinions and artistic methods. The 1870s was the glorious period when Degas truly showed his Impressionist style. It was a period when he became more mature and distinctive in terms of color, character dynamics and composition. At this time, his interest mainly turned to the front and back of the stage, depicting the various training dynamics and vivid images of ballet dancers under stage lights. However, he himself said: "People call me a painter who depicts dancing girls. They don't know that dancing girls are to me. It’s just a medium for depicting beautiful textiles and expressing movements.” This is a typical impressionist concept that only emphasizes the phenomenon and ignores the essence, and only emphasizes the form and ignores the content. Degas was not only an oil painter, but also good at pastel painting. He tried to use pastel to create the effect of oil painting, and gave full play to its soft and bright characteristics, showing an artistic charm that is comparable to that of oil painting. Degas painted diligently throughout his life. When he was almost blind and unable to paint, he still groped for sculpture, using the Impressionist method to create various dynamic people and horses. Degas' attitude towards art was serious and loyal. He is arrogant, strict with himself, and harsh on others, so he is not very gregarious. Only Cassatt, who admires him, has a close relationship with him. He never married. He said that he only has one heart, which can only be dedicated to art. He himself said: "When I die, people will discover how hard I have worked." He died of illness on September 27, 1917, at the age of 83. This painting is...
