EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Factory Smoke, 1877-79" by Edgar Degas takes us back to the industrial era of the late 19th century. The image captures a close-up view of a factory building engulfed in billowing black smoke, symbolizing the rapid growth of industry during that time. Degas, known for his impressionist style, beautifully portrays the environmental impact of industrialization through this monotype artwork. The contrast between the dark smoke and the white building emphasizes not only the pollution caused by factories but also their dominance over nature. The location is believed to be in France, where Degas was born and spent most of his life. This piece serves as a reminder of France's rich heritage in art and its significant role in shaping modern society. As we gaze upon this post-impressionist masterpiece housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we are transported to an era when progress came at a cost. Degas' keen eye captured both beauty and despair within this scene - showcasing his ability to evoke emotions through his art. "Factory Smoke, 1877-79" stands as a powerful testament to Degas' artistic prowess and serves as an important historical document highlighting the effects of industrialization on our environment.
