Edgar Degas: Ballet Rehearsal on the Stage 1874
Source
- Grey tone
- Informal tone, a rehearsal
- Human events, a ballerina scratches, seated
- A disclosure of framing, a man watches, seated
- A newer production, photographic quality, newer opportunities, lines of informal-formal spaces opening up, interacting in a way that gives appropriate resource and time.
- Viewers can see more, experience more
- Creative play, humanizing tone, emphasized vs embodied allure, cosmetic tone, characters on display
- Observer straddles rather than sits, again, of informal tone
- informality of behavior emphasized, among the formality of dress.
- Theater lacks color, as if the actors reside on an old stage, maybe not theirs?
