The meeting will reveal Degas's creativity from a new perspective and help to look at his works differently. The discussion will focus on hidden meanings and unusual aspects of his painting. The lecture will be dedicated to the work of Edgar Degas - one of the key artists of French Impressionism. His name is often associated with elegant images of ballerinas and the lightness of pastel technique, but behind this external effect lies a more complex and contradictory view of humanity and movement. During the meeting, they will analyze how the artist worked with the theme of the body, what lies behind the familiar images of dancers, and what lesser-known, including disturbing, narratives are present in his works. The lecture will be conducted by art historian, museum collections curator, and lecturer at specialized universities Anna Piotrovskaya. Registration is required to participate.
