Art Institute of Chicago - Impressionism: Les Danseuses (Degas to Lautrec)

“People call me the painter of dancing girls. It has never occurred to them that my chief interest in dancers lies in rendering movement and painting pretty clothes.” - Edgar Degas

I only took ballet for a few years when I was a little girl, but I still love the grace, the costumes, the shoes…Perhaps that is why I always return to Repetto when I’m in Paris.
