Weekend Edition 23

Edgar Degas


End of an Arabesque, 1877
The artist is working. The first thing you notice is the yellow glow of the shirt. The glow represent the magic of the dance, the artwork. Next, you see the ballerina. She looks like a real simple person. There is nothing magical about her. How coud she create something so beautiful and enchanting? She've got something special, the talant(the bouqet). It is the flares inside her soul(the flowers inside the wrap) rhat she use to illuminate the world. She absorbs the surrounding world through the talant. This creates the magic and glow of the dance. If you look to the background, you will see that not all figures posses the same magical glow.

The regular life is routine. Black line, grey line, white line.Black line, grey line, white line.... And then there is Magic. It turns the bleak colors into something bright, light and interesting. This new thing is more permanent, it goes through entire life span.This is art. The magic that makes the art is Talent (thin blue line in the middle). Talent is magical when it transforms ordinary everyday things into something different - a piece of art.
