EDITORS COMMENTS
Grande Arabesque" is a stunning bronze sculpture by the renowned French artist Edgar Degas, created in the late 19th century. This particular cast, designated as Hebrard cast 60/D, is a posthumous edition of Degas' original plaster model. Degas, born in Paris in 1834, was a leading figure in the French art scene and a pivotal figure in the Impressionist movement. The sculpture depicts a female dancer in an arabesque pose, a ballet position in which the dancer balances on one foot while extending the other leg behind and raising the arms above the head. The graceful and elegant form of the dancer is captured in exquisite detail, with the sculpture showcasing the artist's mastery of the human figure and his innovative use of shape and form. The sculpture's rich, warm patina adds depth and texture to the figure, highlighting the intricacies of Degas' technique. The bronze casting process, which involved creating a mold from the original plaster model and pouring molten bronze into it, allowed Degas to achieve a level of detail and precision that was not possible with other mediums. "Grande Arabesque" is a testament to Degas' enduring influence on the art world and his contribution to the development of modern sculpture. This particular cast is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), located in Los Angeles, California, USA. The sculpture's placement in this prestigious museum underscores its significance as a historic and cultural treasure, and a valuable addition to the European artistic heritage. The sculpture's timeless beauty and the artist's innovative approach to sculpture continue to captivate and inspire viewers, making "Grande Arabesque" a must-see work of art for anyone interested in the history of European art and the evolution of sculpture as a medium.
