Edgar Degas was one of Impressionism’s founders, yet an academic painter by training who rejected the term for his work, seeing his art as realistic and unspontaneous. Over half of Degas’s canvases rendered dancers, as with “La Classe de Danse” here, and Degas’s commitment to accuracy and his formal education in coloring are apparent. This Mixed-Media painting is well suited for Modern Transitional Chateaus and the Southeastern Designer Showhouse in Atlanta, Georgia.
