The Blue Dancers, Degas Art Key Ring

Around 1880 Degas's greys gave way to brilliant colours, ranging from red to russet, and muted tones were replaced by warm ones. This came with a change in style and technique, in which pastels became his dominant medium. Degas produced a series of coloured pastel drawings of dancers including “The Blue Dancers” which depicts four ballerinas in lavender-blue costumes dancing in a recital, a performance of music by a small group. The use of blue paste and flowing composition creates harmony amongst the dancers. Degas's later paintings of dancers remove the figures completely from the realist atmosphere of the stage. The luminous tracery of colours now reigns supreme. The dancers become the essence of rhythmic movement, pure emanations of colours. Art is a wonderful gift for any occasion, whether it is for Christmas or Hanukah, a baby shower, a wedding gift, or a "thank you". Even for the person who has everything, a mini piece of artwork makes an amazing gift. It shows forethought, effort and a flair for gift giving. TRANSFER ART IMAGE TO ANY PRODUCT.
