Degas is one of those famous painters who you recognize immediately from his style even though you haven't seen the painting before. And that is a character of a master.
Yes. For example, Chopin had as a musician an automatically recognizable style. His signature is written in every musical piece. Same for Degas in his painting.
Like other painters of his time, Degas realized that the art of painting could not compete with photography. But that doesn't mean he didn't perfectly master the technique of producing portraits with realism. By combining different techniques (realism and impressionism) in some paintings, he not only asserted his creative freedom, but also showed that he did not like to be too faithful to any particular school of painting.
People compare photography and painting as if they compete. They do not, each has its place in the visual arts and it is possible, desirable even to practice both, computing can also join in visial creative endeavours. I combine all three in my efforts to create images.
I think its amazing that a mistake is so easily spotted in the painting at 4:29. I dont know if thats sloppy or just a unrepairable mistake by the artist.
I don't know if that is a mistake. These things, the ghost like images, don't ruin the painting. He changed the composition, painting over some things. The overpainting may have become translucent over time. Or maybe he didn't mind the ghost images.
It’s not a mistake, it’s natural to change or adjust a composition. The fact we can see these changes is because over a long time oil paint becomes more transparent, probably when he originally made the correction it would not have been visible.
They used to do that a lot in the 90s/00s documentaries. That's why the volume is different. But i agree, they don't really do that anymore because people didn't like it i think
@meandai Edgar Degas-Per was a man and product of his times. Yes with hindsight slavery was very wrong back then but morals standards and ethics were very different to today. Not sure if you are being judgemental or not but if you are it is inappropriate and irrelevant now. What we should really be worrying about is the modern day slavery occurring today and put a stop to that.

Who doesn't LOVE the Impressionistic Era of painting. That Era separates itself from everything else in time.
I love Edgar Degas and Impressionism so much.🥰😍🤗

32:08 also has two extra arms on the woman. You see the artist changing his mind about the composition.

@@Ashley-qc2scthanks for explaining
Here after hearing that he was a misogynist and the theory that he could have been Jack the Ripper
Same
I saw a small exhibition of photographs he made when already blind.
Having the dialogues overlap is a serious error. If you have an English translation then leave out the sound of the French speaker.

What's with the ominous music at the beginning? Why not play Debussy, his musical equivalent? It's really distracting from the narration.
Bc he's Jack the ripper 😅
No i agree Debussy is the musical French impressionist artist
The greatest of modern painters!
Does anybody know if he ever went to America for The World's Fair?
ALL OF THE IMPRESIONIST PAINTERS HAVE BEEN VERY VERY PROVOCATIVES....
Lütfen Türkçe alt yaz ekler misiniz ?
I love impressionist
The ripper
Yeah
🙏👍❤️
Way of the light & color modifications.
@43.58 so there's a conspiracy theory going on about Degas and that's what he has named one of his paintings?
Degas famouse pice of art is in the cafe 😂❤
Isn't Degas what you get when you eat Debeans?
Please pronounce French names correctly!
It’s not Day-gah.
It’s not MOW-nay.
Honestly wondering what it is please?

Can you get psychological help?
You apparently need it badly.
