Description
Step into the captivating world of cabaret with Edgar Degas’ “The Singer in Green” (ca. 1884), a mesmerizing pastel artwork that celebrates the magnetic charm of a captivating performer. The subject, described in a 19th-century sale catalogue as “Skinny and with the graceful moves of a little monkey, she has just sung her ribald verses and, with a gesture that conceals an entreaty behind her smile, is inviting applause.” The model, with her small eyes, high cheeks, and low brow, recalls Marie von Goethem, the working-class girl who posed for Degas’ sculpture, “The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer.”
The singer’s dress, rendered in vivid yellow, turquoise, and orange, reflects Degas’ experimentation with saturated hues and color contrasts in the mid-1880s. His masterful use of pastels captures the energy and spirit of the performer, bringing the lively atmosphere of the cabaret stage to life.
