Fourteen-year-old Dancer (1881) by Degas
|
 |
As Degas’ eyesight began to fail, he experimented more frequently with sculpture. The original Little Dancer of Fourteen Years was the only sculpture he exhibited during his lifetime. Made of a bronze and wax mixture, the original stands 39 inches tall and was dressed in a bodice of yellow silk, a skirt made of gauze, real ballet slippers, and a hair made of horsehair, which is tied back with a satin bow.
Petite Danseuse De Quatorze Ans (Little Dancer of Fourteen Years) 1879-1881, is the only sculpture Edgar Degas chose to exhibit throughout his lifetime. He created a revolutionary piece breaking the stereotypical cold inanimate sculptures of his time. He made his dancer come to life. Although received with some disapproval because of its stark realism, it has become one of the most time honored, beloved sculptures around the world.
