Degas Little Dancer Sculpture Details Description:
The Degas Little Dancer sculpture is one of the most famous sculptures in the art world. Created between 1879 and 1881, it depicts the natural posture of a 14-year-old ballet dancer, with a slightly forward-leaning body and elegant and relaxed arms. Degas used a combination of wax, fabric, and real hair to enhance realism. The posture and attire of this character, including ballet skirts, slippers, and belts, were captured in great detail, giving a lifelike feeling. This Degas Little Dancer sculpture marks a departure from traditional academic sculpture, conveying a moment of motion and natural elegance rather than idealized perfection.
Why Degas Little Dancer sculpture can represent Impressionism sculptures?
Degas Little Dancer sculpture is often considered a typical representative of Impressionism sculpture because it focuses on capturing fleeting moments in daily life and movement, just like Impressionist painting at the time. Degas was closely related to the Impressionist movement, although he preferred sculpture and painting as media rather than painting. He pays attention to the daily world of dancers, capturing the reality of their lives and the fleeting beauty of their movements, reflecting the pursuit of Impressionism in capturing fleeting “impressions”. Unlike classical sculptures that attempt to depict idealized forms, Degas Little Dancer sculpture emphasizes authenticity and immediacy, reflecting the essence of Impressionism’s challenge to traditional artistic conventions.
