This landmark exhibition at London’s beautiful Royal Academy of Arts is a unique chance to see Edgar Degas’s iconic studies of ballet dancers. It sheds new light on this Impressionist artist, presenting his paintings, drawings and sculptures in the context of parallel advances in photography and film. Trace the development of Degas’s ballet imagery throughout his career, from the observational documentary mode of the early 1870s to the sensuous expressiveness of his final years. Picturing movement is on at the Royal Academy until December 11.
