When asked by Mrs. Horace Havemeyer, an American collector, why he so often portrayed dancers, Degas replied “Because I find there, Madame, the combined movements of the Greeks.”
This pastel was produced late in the artist’s life when his eyesight had begun to fail. It is possible that his diminished vision resulted in the heavy contours that surround the dancers and give only the barest suggestion of their facial features. Rather than attempting great detail, he concentrated on mapping out the unpredictable effects of theatrical lighting on the forms of the figures.

Drawing
Often called “the painter of modern life,” Edgar Degas filled his canvases with images from the vibrant world of performance and spectacle in the clubs and theaters of Paris during the latter part of the 1800s. Ballet dancers appealed to Degas as a pictorial subject for two key reasons: they represented modern subjects, and they offered female bodies that could be naturally observed in a host of complicated poses. Drawing from innumerable studies, he created light-filled images that represent the essence of natural movement.
Dancer, Seen from Behind is a study for a figure in the far right of Dancers in the Rehearsal Room, with a Double Bass, which is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Edgar Degas lived in Montmartre, a lively area of Paris that was filled with cafés, music halls, and theaters. Degas, who was a great patron of these entertainment venues, made four lithographs of the well-known singer Emélie Bécat, shown here in a performance at the café Ambassadeurs.
In order to emphasize the stark contrasts of such dramatic night scenes, Degas began by blackening the printing plate completely with ink; he then extracted light-struck forms such as the gas lamps, fireworks, and moonlight seen in this lithograph.
