by Edgar Degas, 1878
Edgar Degas captured this café-concert performer in 1878, showing a singer mid-performance in a striking green dress. Her theatrical gesture and artificial lighting create a vivid impression of Parisian nightlife. Degas's pastel technique allows bold colors and spontaneous marks that convey the performer's energy.
Degas frequently depicted entertainers in Paris's cafés and music halls. His Impressionist eye for unusual angles and fleeting moments distinguishes these works. Now at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
The painting marked a turning point in artistic technique or subject matter.
