Edgar Degas

I chose Edgar Degas, an impressionist artist from the 19th century, because his work concentrates mostly on women and artists, and has a prominent structure to it. I like how he manages to catch things in motion; like ballerinas dancing or musicians playing. I also like how there is one vibrant color in most of his paintings; it better emphasizes the emotions of the subjects.
