“Danseuses sous un arbre” aka “Danseuses roses” (Two Dancers in Pink) by Edgar Degas (French) – Pastel on paper / c. 1895 – Norton Simon Museum (Pasadena, California) #WomenInArt #art #artText #artwork #EdgarDegas #Degas #Pastel #NortonSimonMuseum #BlueskyArt #arte #Ballerina #dancers #FrenchArt

French artist Edgar Degas, captivated by the ephemeral qualities of movement, used pastel to explore immediacy and intimacy. Here, line and smudge create both structure and atmosphere, suggesting not photographic precision but the fleeting sensation of dance. The focus on the dancers’ backs rather than their faces highlights gesture over personality, echoing Degas’s fascination with “the body in its natural state of effort.”

His ballet works of over 1,500 drawings, paintings, and sculptures were less portraits than studies of rhythm, repetition, and the grueling discipline behind the art form. He once remarked, “People call me the painter of dancers; it has never occurred to them that my chief interest in dancers lies in rendering movement.”

Two ballerinas stand side by side beneath a branching tree, their long brown hair tied in trailing braids that fall down the backs of their pale pink tutus. The pastel’s soft textures capture the gauzy fabric of the skirts, scattered with delicate floral details, as their arms stretch upward in mirrored arcs, suggesting a moment of poised practice. Their bodies are turned away from us, angled so that only the curve of cheek, shoulder, and arm are visible.

The figures are shown in mid-motion: one with her left arm lifted higher, the other echoing the gesture just a beat behind. Their skin is rendered in light tones that glow against the muted gray floor and the cool teal sky, a contrast that emphasizes the physicality of dance. The earthy tree trunk at left and horizon of green fields beyond lend a surprising outdoor backdrop, unusual in Degas’s ballet scenes, which more often unfolded in rehearsal studios or stage wings.

Painted late in his career, this pastel reveals a softer palette and more contemplative mood than his earlier, bustling stage depictions. The outdoor setting dissolves the barrier between performance and nature, suggesting a universal harmony of art, body, and landscape.

“Jeune fille en vert aka Jeune fille aux gants” (Young Woman in Green aka Young Woman with Gloves) by Tamara de Lempicka (Polish-born, later Mexican) – Oil on plywood / c. 1927–1930 – Musée national d’Art moderne, Centre Pompidou (Paris, France) #WomenInArt #art #artText #TamaradeLempicka #Lempicka

Created in Paris after her escape from the Russian Revolution, "Jeune fille en vert" embodies Tamara de Lempicka’s fusion of Cubist geometry and Art Deco glamour. Born Tamara Górska in Warsaw in 1898, she rebuilt her life and name in exile, studying with Maurice Denis and André Lhote. By the late 1920s, she was painting aristocrats, actresses, and lovers with lacquered precision with her brush crafting a visual language of female autonomy.

We see a light-skinned young woman in a vivid green satin dress from the waist up, turned three-quarters left beneath a wide white hat. Honey-blond curls arc along her cheek as she lowers the brim with her right hand in a white glove; her left gloved hand seemingly reaches out at her side, fingers slightly splayed. The dress clings and ripples in high-gloss folds; a sheer green scarf runs diagonally across her chest and bursts behind her right shoulder as a large, crisp bow. Hard-edged light carves the planes of her face and arms, leaving a clean crescent shadow under the hat and deep seams in the satin. Her warm red lips and sidelong gaze are poised and self-possessed. A shallow backdrop of angled gray panels suggests an urban or stage-like space.

Openly bisexual, Lempicka moved through Paris’s queer avant-garde, depicting women with unapologetic sensuality. “I live life in the margins of society,” she said, defying norms of gender and respectability. Though not a declared feminist, her career embodied feminist practice: financially independent, self-invented, and commanding male-dominated circles through talent and style.

This anonymous woman in green is simultaneously a muse, mirror, and mask as Lempicka distilled the paradox she lived: desire bound in discipline, beauty shaped into power.

A short wander along the Chesterfield Canal today. Lovely weather after Storm Amy on Saturday. Bombarded with swarms of ladybirds!

Lots of boring pictures of canals follow... 😱

I still enjoyed it!
