We have some new poetry from Desi Di Nardo, a multi-talented and accomplished artist and writer from Toronto. Desi brings her unique voice and sense of rhythm and imagery to spinozablue.

As can be seen by the paintings on her website, Desi has been influenced by Degas. I thought it appropriate to post one of his best known works.

 

Ballet Rehearsal, by Edgar Degas. 1873

The Rehearsal, by Edgar Degas. 1873-1878.

The painting resides in Harvard’s Fogg Art Museum, when not on loan. A good intro and searchable index can be found here.

PBS has a very good multimedia presentation on Degas here.
