In This Session

Artist David Hollander explores Edgar Degas' "La Petite Danseuse": A Reconsideration

When Edgar Degas unveiled Little Dancer of Fourteen Years in 1881, audiences were shocked by its realism. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of modern sculpture. Artist David Hollander reexamines this iconic work through the life of its young model, Marie van Goethem, the social world of nineteenth-century Paris, and his own interpretive drawings, offering fresh perspectives on art, history, and the human story behind the sculpture. 

Participants are encourage to engage in a lively discussion and Q&A session.
