He died at age 83 "Little Dancer" and 72 other bronze sculptures by Degas are on view at the Phoenix Art Museum through May 30 " The traveling show, which is nearing the end of its six-city tour, will make a final stop at the Boise Art Museum before it returns to the Museu de Arte de Sao Paolo in Brazil Though Degas only exhibited one sculpture in his life and was more famous for his paintings and pastels, his heirs found 150 sculptures in his studio after his death in 1917 and bronzed 73 of them Degas' favorite subjects were dancers, horses and female bathers, who were shown in poses and gestures as if caught in a snapshot from their daily rituals "It is one of the most important groups of sculptures produced in the 19th century," Tom Loughman, curator of European art at the Phoenix Art Museum, said What he was willing to do was to go where people had not gone before Other times, he would ask dancers and other subjects to pose for him " During Degas' lifetime, art lovers warmed to the impressionists' vision and the idea that everyday life was a source of beauty, after four centuries of art that believed in the contrary, Jim Ballinger, director of the Phoenix Art Museum, said The wax sculptures were used to create molds from which the bronzes were cast Casts of his sculptures were made in the two decades after Degas' death, and only four complete sets of the bronze sculptures exist today phxart , where Degas' original wax sculptures are preserved He had focused on sculptures later in his career when his eyesight was failing "(The sculptures) are fascinating because it's a new look to what Degas did to broaden people's understanding to how revolutionary he was," Ballinger said Degas' willingness to push such sensibilities drew intense criticism in 1881 when the French impressionist exhibited his sculpture of a young dancer dressed in a cloth tutu and a wig of human hair "He is the great inventor of walking into the bathroom, walking into a ballet rehearsal room He would often be found in dance rehearsal halls or at racetracks in Paris, where he would make sketches before working on a piece in his studio Degas' Sculptures Show Ordinary People Mar 8, 3:21 PM EST In an era when art favored goddesses and kings, Edgar Degas broke the rules by capturing ordinary people in private moments â€â€? from a woman in a bathtub to a ballerina pulling up a stocking From those studies, he produced sculptures entitled, "Dancer Adjusting the Shoulder Strap of her Bodice" or "Dancer Looking at the Sole of Her Right Foot" â€â€? more examples of Degas' desire to strip away all facades and glorify seemingly mundane moments It was, however, just another example of the artist's commitment to portray his subjects realistically rather than as objects for admiration Bucking traditions in the late 19th century, he joined the company of Edouard Manet and Claude Monet, who sought artistry from everyday life and became known as the impressionists It was modeled after a 14-year-old dance student named Marie van Goethem and portrayed a girl with a haughty expression, her head tilted upward and her lanky arms pulled back "Degas was painting bathrooms and naked women of no particular beauty He was looking searchingly at pregnant and elderly female figures and finding in it something as glorious and redolent as the divine," said Douglas Lewis, the curator of sculpture and decorative arts at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D Reaction ranged from praise that Degas had created the first modern sculpture to criticism that it was a sad representation of adolescence â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: Phoenix Art Museum: http://www org Of the exhibit pieces, only "Little Dancer" was presented publicly during Degas' life C "His work anticipated modernism and the art history that would form in the years following his death Today, "Little Dancer, Aged Fourteen" and other works show Degas as a visionary who influenced future artists "He went to such places and went behind the scenes to look at the real life of the fantasy of which is presented in the arts," Lewis said But because Degas didn't need to sell his works to survive, he had more freedom to experiment Born into a wealthy family in 1834, Degas studied the classical styles at the Academy of Fine Arts in Paris, which preserved and promoted art taken from mythology, Greek and Roman history and the Bible Edwards Is the Talk of 'Tonight Show' Feb 14, 10:44 AM EST Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards was the talk of NBC's "Tonight Show," even before he walked on stage Friday night " Edwards welcomed the compliment "Any guy who can convince his wife to go to Wendy's every year on Valentine's Day should be elected If elected, Edwards said, he would support the right of individual states to decide whether to allow gay marriage S "Right now we've leaned so far into free trade that we've forgotten what fair trade is," he said jobs to overseas workers During the show, he touched on such issues as gay marriage and the loss of U "It's hard to be out there and be substantive and be involved and be excited Imagine what he could convince the leaders of other countries to do " Later, during an interview with guest Diane Keaton, the actress professed her admiration for the Democratic senator from North Carolina, saying she watched him every day on CNN and was thrilled to meet him in person During his opening riff, host Jay Leno joked about Edwards' tradition of taking his wife to Wendy's for a Valentine's Day dinner He said he would support placing environmental regulations on countries that take American jobs I think about him and I don't know how he's doing this," she said "I was very pleased to hear that," he said during a brief exchange with reporters Edwards also said he believes major policy changes are needed to prevent companies from shipping jobs overseas "I think the world of her and my wife loves her "Now that I'm nominated (for an Oscar), I feel like I'm in a race too "If California chooses to recognize same-sex marriage, that's fine and the federal government ought to honor it," he said "That should be his platform," Leno said Edwards also chided Leno for a slip of tongue during the show, in which the comedian called him a vice presidential candidate The candidate, who has said he's not considering running for vice president, responded that he could support an Edwards-Kerry ticket " Edwards was in California to make several campaign and fund-raising stops |
