The Metropolitan Museum of Art Degas Dancers Silk Neckerchief Clearance

Gift Her An Art Scarf Inspired By The Met Collection.

Lend An Artful Touch To Any Look With This Stylish Silk Neckerchief Featuring Dancers, Pink And Green (Ca. 1890) By Edgar Degas (French, 1834–1917). This Vivid Oil Painting In The Met Collection Affords A Privileged View Of Dancers Waiting In The Wings Of The Famed Paris Opéra During A Performance. The Painting’S Heavily Impastoed Surface Suggests That Degas Worked Directly And Extensively On This Picture; The Artist Created An Opaque Quality By Mixing His Colors With White And Applying The Pigments In Multiple Thick Layers, Recalling The Pastel Technique That He Perfected In The Previous Decade.

We Present This Elegant Accessory In Celebration Of Manet/Degas, An Examination Of The Close Albeit Tumultuous Relationship Between Degas And Édouard Manet (French, 1832–1883). These Two Highly Influential Artists Were Friends, Rivals, And, At Times, Antagonists Who Worked To Define Modern Painting In 19Th-Century France. By Surveying Their Careers In Parallel And Showcasing Their Work Side By Side, This Exhibition Investigates How Their Artistic Objectives And Approaches Both Overlapped And Diverged. Through More Than 150 Paintings And Works On Paper From The Met Collection And Beyond, Manet/Degas, On View At The Met Fifth Avenue From September 24, 2023 Through January 7, 2024, Explores One Of The Most Significant Artistic Dialogues In Modern Art History.
