Box 39

A counterpoint to the major exhibition, Degas and the Little Dancer, this related exhibition presented 15 objects demonstrating the conservative tastes that established the aesthetic norm of Degas's time and governed viewers' reactions to his work. The works on display demonstrated Dalou's expressive modeling and technical skill, highlighting the major subjects of late-nineteenth century sculpture.
