However, he eventually shifted focus to apply his historical painting techniques to modern subjects, thereby carving a niche as a classical painter of contemporary life.

Artistic Signature and Style

Degas's artistic signature was the depiction of dynamic scenes, particularly dancers, which constitute over half of his body of work. His mastery over drawing is evident in the lifelike motion of his subjects, from the grace of ballet dancers to the energy of racehorses.

Edgar Degas's art is equally appreciated for its depth in portraying the solitude and psychological intricacies of individuals, making his portraits especially significant.
Some of his notable works include The Dancing Class (1874) and L'Absence de l'Appel (1872-1873), both showcasing his unique style and technique.
Degas's work now stands as a testament to the innovative transition of nineteenth-century art, merging the old with the new in an enduring legacy.

Legacy and Influence

Edgar Degas

“Only through art can we get outside of ourselves and know another's view of the universe which is not the same as ours and see landscapes which would otherwise have remained unknown to us like the landscapes of the moon. Thanks to art, instead of seeing a single world, our own, we see it multiply until we have before us as many worlds as there are original artists . . . . And many centuries after their core, whether we call it Rembrandt or Vermeer, is extinguished, they continue to send us their special rays.”

Marcel Proust (1871-1922) French writer.
