1/The Parisian #ballerinas painted, drawn & sculpted by #Degas were young, poor & wretched souls. Exploited & used, the youngest were known as ‘les petit rats’. Wealthy men, called ‘abonnés’, paid subscriptions for backstage access to them & ‘privileges’. #RefuseToBeUsed ImageImage
2/ Abonnés, the powerful & wealthy male subscribers who paid for backstage ‘access’ (often sexual) to ballerinas in #Paris, can be seen in many paintings. #Degas, also an #abonné, used & exploited the young girls for his art, discarding them when no longer of artistic use. ImageImageImage
3/#Misogynist #Degas reportedly said “women invented the word ‘suffering’”. What a lovely man. Not. Remember that when looking at the beautiful works of art he created. Remember the miserable existence of the exploited & abused #ballerinas of #Paris.

Paul #Signac nació el 11 de noviembre de 1863 en París. En 1882 ingresa en la Escuela de Artes Decorativas y asiste al taller libre de Bin, un pintor alcalde de Montmartre. #ArtistaArtenea @arteneaUCM
En sus primeros trabajos se aprecian influencias de Camille #Pissarro, de Pierre Auguste #Renoir y de Claude #Monet. Participó en la IX Exposición Impresionista junto a #Degas, #Forain, #Pissarro, #Gauguin y #Seurat.
Jugó un papel muy considerable en la formación del grupo de neoimpresionistas; sirvió además de vínculo entre #Pissarro, #Seurat y los escritores simbolistas, y trabó amistad con pintores belgas que formaron un segundo grupo de neoimpresionistas.

Edgar #Degas, nace en París en 1834. Hijo de un banquero acomodado. Fue considerado uno de los fundadores del Impresionismo, aunque él mismo rechazaba el nombre y prefería llamarlo realismo o arte realista.
Se caracteriza por incluir dentro de la pintura algunas novedades que se introducen en la sociedad contemporánea, como la fotografía. Le interesa mucho captar el momento fugaz. En Jockeys lo podemos apreciar en ese corte de los personajes.
En sus primeras obras #Degas realizaba principalmente retratos individuales o grupales, aunque eran temas tradicionales ya mostraba un estilo impresionista con puntos de vista inusuales.
