Degas’ Little Dancer - the mixed media sculpture experiment nearly everyone hated

Edgar Degas’ Little Dancer Aged Fourteen was pretty controversial when it was first shown in the 1880s. In this Moment in Art History we’ll discuss the sculpture, the criticism, and the development of mixed media art.

Criticism of Degas' work tells us not to pay too much attention to criticism!!

For me his paintings retain beauty even when the dancers are obviously suffering. This sculpture retains none. It depicts the pain of the dancer so well I find it too disturbing to enjoy. Thank you! I would not have thought of that.
