À propos de cet article

This exquisite engraving after Edgar Degas (1834–1917), titled Danseuse (Dancer), originates from the celebrated album Degas Danse dessin (Degas Dance Drawings), published by Ambroise Vollard, Paris, and rendered by Maurice Potin, Paris. The album was printed by A Jourde, maitre imprimeur, Paris, on February 24, 1936. The composition reflects Degas’s lifelong fascination with the discipline, grace, and physical rigor of the dancer’s body, expressed through incisive line and subtle tonal control. Executed as an engraving on velin de Rives paper, this work measures 12.8 x 9.8 inches. Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued. The engraving demonstrates the exceptional technical refinement of Maurice Potin, whose translation of Degas’s compositions preserves the immediacy, rhythm, and structural intelligence of the artist’s original drawings.

About the Publication: Degas Danse dessin (Degas Dance Drawings), published in 1936 by Ambroise Vollard, stands as one of the most refined and intellectually rigorous illustrated art albums of the early twentieth century. Conceived as a tribute to Edgar Degas’s lifelong engagement with movement, anatomy, and the human figure, the publication unites scholarly intent with exceptional craftsmanship. Vollard, one of the most influential art dealers and publishers of his era, brought together master engraver Maurice Potin and printer A Jourde to translate Degas’s drawings into engraved form with extraordinary fidelity. The album exemplifies the highest traditions of French livre dartiste production, emphasizing material excellence, typographic sophistication, and artistic integrity. By choosing engraving as the primary medium, the publication preserves the clarity, rhythm, and psychological intensity of Degas’s line while granting the images a permanence and gravitas uniquely suited to his vision. Today, Degas Danse dessin remains a benchmark of modern illustrated publishing, revered for its union of literary, technical, and artistic achievement. About the Artist: Edgar Degas (1834–1917) was a French painter, draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor whose groundbreaking fusion of classical draftsmanship, modern experimentation, and psychological depth helped define the trajectory of Western art, positioning him as one of the most influential figures of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Renowned for his depictions of ballet dancers, racehorses, theater scenes, cafe life, domestic interiors, milliners, laundresses, and women at their toilette, Degas reimagined observational realism through radical compositional innovation, employing extreme cropping, asymmetrical framing, oblique viewpoints, and dramatic lighting that anticipated photographic and cinematic language long before these technologies shaped visual culture. Although associated with Impressionism, he rejected plein air spontaneity in favor of studio based discipline rooted in the linear precision of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, the expressive chromaticism of Eugene Delacroix, and the modernity of Edouard Manet, while also drawing inspiration from Japanese ukiyo e prints, classical sculpture, and early photography. His independent artistic philosophy resonated with and helped shape the innovations of Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. His pioneering use of pastel, monotype, and wax sculpture fundamentally transformed each medium, influencing artists from Henri Matisse, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, and Giacomo Manzu to Paula Rego, contemporary realists, experimental photographers, and choreographers. Degas’s works are held in nearly every major museum collection worldwide, including the Musee dOrsay, the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Courtauld Institute, and the National Gallery, London. His highest auction record was achieved at Sothebys London on February 3, 2015, when Danseuses en Bleu sold for 37,033,000 GBP, cementing his status as one of the most sought after and enduringly significant artists of the Western canon.
