Ballet

This painting explores the relationship between movement and the body,emphasizing the forms it creates by using a bright red for the dancer's thight clothing. The depth is given by a very precise shading in the human forms that is achieved with masterful use of colour by the painter and makes the figures stand out very clearly from the background.The colour also gives a sensual feeling to the work, creating a contrast between what we are shown and what ballet is usually associated with, which is discipline and pureness.
