family Belleli (1858-62) Museum d 'Orsay , Paris
In this family portrait we see the aunt Deagas , Laura with her husband and two children. Laura is expecting a third child, even if the pregnancy is not seen in the painting.
L ' absinthe (1876), Museum d 'Orsay , Paris
This painting, among the most famous and at the time of the most discussed Degas, which depicts two patrons at the cafe with his eyes empty, the glass front they contain wormwood (recognizable by the pale green), a liquor strong and very popular at the time, but also considered very harmful. As models Degas chose two of his friends. The actress and painter Andre Desboutin .
an opera that was defined by critics of the nasty, hateful, vulgar.
Fantini at Longchamp (1874 circa), Museo of Fine Arts Boston.
Oltre alle scene di danza, le corse di cavallo furono tra i soggetti prediletti dell'artista, amava molto i cavalli.
Le viol , (1874),
Questo dipinto è il mio preferito, (anche se la mia voce conta poco), in questo quadro possiamo leggere l'antica storia dei ruoli tra i due sessi. Degas con il gioco delle luci della lampada separa le due figure, quella femminile in contrasto con l'ombra che avvolge la figura maschile, i colori smorzati della lampada trasmettono un atmosfera di ostilità e tensione. Ogni dettaglio e ben curato. The man in the 'shadow has a safe attitude, even if the woman lit, highlights its weaknesses, making knees, under the gaze of man.

The office of Musson (1873) Museum of Beaux-Arts, Pau
The picture was painted during a visit to relatives.

The dance school (1875-76)
Miss Lala at the circus Fernando.81879) National Gallery London


Edgar Degas was one of the central figures of Impressionism and the most fruitful, in terms of social and Art is distinguished from the whole movement.
The favorite themes of impressionism, were the landscapes, Degas preferred but the interior scenes, especially the figures of dancers, laundresses women to the bathroom, while the paintings were outside the subjects repeated the jockeys.
In recent years the problems of view which he suffered became worse. He spent the final years of age in total solitude. Degas
was consecrated between the artistic geniuses of the nineteenth century.

Kates Playground Born





take my hand

Take me by the hand Oh my sweet thoughts,
that you choose and my dreams turn to tears, those tears
, accept that the pain has made
grace. Take my hand and hear my voice
sweet thoughts of the soul, and accept that
tears that the grief has given thanks.
Take me by the hand oh my sweet thoughts,
smile and accept that this life that every moment
calls us and whispers thoughts of
hope. He loves this life
gift of the spirit that has made it a pain to grazia.Prendimi
hand and listen to this loneliness that gradually becomes gradually
tear, tear hope,
tears of love, tears of man who seeks a smile
given to him by a child
hands him a hand. Take me by the hand oh
solitude, you choose which men call
by name, welcome sign
these tears of pain absurd, so these eyes
blinded by the sun can finally find peace,
that's a pain gave thanks.
