AskDegas Reproductions

We here at AskDegas.com have searched for years and have finally collected a unique niche of superior Degas reproductions that we are proud to share with you today. Many of these are licensed from museums around the world and listed below, are the museums and materials that have made this possible. Degas was mainly a sculptor, printmaker, and painter, but our selection has gone beyond his vision and has attained a broader scope of adaptation.

Arabesque by Degas Marble Base
Although known locally for a sharp tongue and a quick temper, Edgar Degas revealed in his art a tender appreciation for women, in cafes, in the bath, but especially in the ballet. In the 1880s, when his eyesight began to fail, Degas began increasingly to work in sculpture such as this “Arabesque”. Now in the Musée d’Orsay, Paris (ca. 1890s), this reduction of a dancer stretching forward into “third position” illustrates Degas’ perfect mastery of sculpture. As she stretches forward, she balances with ease and poise. Gallery quality reproduction, made from cold cast bronze, black marble base, 15 3/4”H x 21 1/4”W x 12 1/2”D. (4538)
