The Morning Bath 1883 - Edgar Degas - Office Wall Decor brings gallery-caliber art into everyday spaces. This fine art oil painting is a 100% hand painted oil painting on canvas, created for buyers who want genuine impressionist canvas wall art instead of a mass-produced poster or paper print.
1890

The Art Institute of Chicago, United States.
AS HE PROGRESSED WITH DRAWING and painting nudes in interiors, the artist caught them in more and more active moments, leaping in and out of the tub or twisting in strange and distorted positions. Here the angle of vision is abrupt, and movement is rendered not only by the figure but by the strong zigzag of line starting in the lower right edge of the picture and carrying back through the tub and the glimpse of the wall.
The foreground, with its subtle transformation of white bedclothes into scintillant blues and greys, is contrasted with the zones of rich patterns in the curtains and walls behind. The figure diagonals into deeper space and is treated in a summary, broad manner, the painter strengthening certain lines and blurring others to suggest a sense of interrupted action. By this time Degas had freed himself from the bonds of realism; his drawing is powerful and abbreviated and his forms exist less as an impression of nature than for the part they play in his organized design. The brilliance of the blues and greens forces the warm tones of the flesh and throughout the artist seizes upon cross reflections of light, playing one light upon another ren?dered through dots and strokes of vivid color. Such unusual harmonies may be in part derived from his studies of Oriental art, particularly from rugs and textiles which he collected enthusiastically during this period.
As office wall decor, the piece pairs naturally with other impressionist wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
Oil on canvas remains the reference standard for impressionist reproductions. Our artists apply pigment by hand, blending the fine art tones directly on the surface for depth that a printed fine art oil painting simply cannot match.
impressionist canvas wall art is one of the easiest ways to warm a home office. Pair this piece with natural linen, dark wood, or brushed brass, and let the hand painted surface do the rest.
