Looking for portrait oil painting with real brushwork? The Red And Blue Dancers is reproduced by hand in oils on artist-grade canvas after Edgar Degas. The result is a piece of impressionist oil painting wall decor that anchors a hallway and rewards a closer look.
1889
THIS LATE PASTEL OF THE BALLET shows Degas returning to a theme which occupied him often during his later years- a close-up of a group of dancers, waiting in the wings, touching their costumes, a moment of relaxation between active moments of the dance. As a matter of fact, the older Degas grew, the less likely was he to attempt the more violent action of the ballet on the stage. He went seldom to the theatre and his dancing pictures became more set as he studied individual models in his studio. Perhaps it was this quality that lay behind the testy exclamation of Zola, "I cannot accept a man who shuts himself up all his life to draw a ballet girl as ranking co-equal in dignity and power with Flaubert, Daudet, and Goncourt."
As a matter of fact Degas had long left off any attempt at realism in the sense Zola admired and practiced it. In such a pastel as this he expressed, rather than described, the curious and unexpected effects of color and light backstage, strongly, vividly studying the way various hues played on one another, exaggerating reflections, drawing his figures broadly, striping and overlaying his pastel to gain new effects of texture. The result is a strengthening of the Impressionist broken color and at the same time a new fantasy and unreality in the treatment of the theatre and its dancers.
As hallway wall art, the piece pairs naturally with other impressionist wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
Materials matter for impressionist wall decor. That is why this piece is built on artist-grade canvas with lightfast oil colors, applied by hand rather than output from a printer, and sealed for long-term display.
Style it over a fireplace, behind a reading chair, or along a staircase. Wherever it goes, this impressionist oil painting wall decor adds the layered color that only a hand painted canvas provides.
Whether the search term is portrait oil painting, hallway wall art, or impressionist oil painting wall decor, this hand painted canvas delivers the same thing: a real painted surface, made to your chosen dimensions.
