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. The Met has a nice online sec­tion on Degas here.
