Degas was a real artist, as you are so so not one.

you must speak better English..................

"A roof under their heads?" 🤔

I apprecoate the care and knowledge of Degas's artistic mastery into this video. But dancing around, so to speak, about the bleak reality of these girls and youbg women's lives does a disservice. Let's not mince words. We are looking at art about sex trafficked children and young women. They were called "Little Rats" in French. Their "patrons" were grown, wealthy men payiing for underage chikdren who were prostituted. The color,, light, texture abd composition is wondrous. Absolutely, Degas was an incredible artist. But we are still looking at children and very young women who were marketed, exploited and discarded. To not face these ugly truths does their lives a disservice.

Those poor ballet dancers, how awful to be subject to human trafficking snd paedophiles like that. I wonder if the ballet schools ever acknowledged or made any attempt at repererations for this dark history, I very much doubt it. Probably just say thats just how it was back then... Also I heard that Marie/the little dancer was also fired because of the sensation and negative press her sculpture caused. I wonder which is true. There was a really good historical novel based on Marie's life, called 'The Painter Dancers' by Cathy Marie Buchanan, which I highly recommend, based on a lot of research she did on how the ballet schools functioned back then. Would make a great film.

I'm 2 yrs late but tik tok brought me here also but from recent videos and given that context the paintings and particularly the 14 yrs, are really creepy. Like...😢 and im sure a theory made up to sound crazy that actually tracks about him being Jack the Ripper isn't true, but the paintings are creepy. His personal life and beliefs are evidence enough that the dark, menacing forms are worse than sponsors...idk im creeped out completely.

His art work is one of my favorites. I didn't know his name until today, but I draw a lot of ballerinas too. Lol

Excellent effort !!!! very impressive and much needed to inspire art appreciation.......

I think Picasso is so important to the art world. I do think it’s interesting to looking back at his paintings through his view as an artist and his unfortunate misogyny. I guess it’s the classic of wether you should separate the art from the artist

Thank you for such a detailed exposé. Be blessed in Jesus name !

Excellent! Thank you so much.

Ashling tiktok brought me here.... I decided to go to youtube and watched Louise (?)short film and yeah it brought me here somehow okay tmi

I loved your video so much ❤️

I just saw a tiktok about it and decided to google lmao

I come from tiktok

I thought Degas was wealthy. How did he have no money? Trying to understand.

thankyou so much for such an informative and interesting video... I"ve subscribed !

I was about to try to duplicate Degas' "The Star" in order to practice with pastels (Learn from the Masters), but now that I've listened to your explanation of the backstory of the dancers, I will now have a very different experience as I work with this image. I'd paid no attention to the dark figure by the curtain, but now see his significance. Thank you for this.

It was very interesting.

Well researched

Thank you so much! I am having my school-leaving exam on Monday from Art and Culture and this really helped me with impressionism. <3
