Degas’ ballet dancers certainly are among all times iconic images. So interesting to know what they’re doing to the costumes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/conservation-of-degas#post-1912577 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 01:50:07 +0000 anne 1912577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kari, very interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/conservation-of-degas#post-1912572 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 01:15:35 +0000 Jenni NZ 1912572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's awesome Kari, thank you. I love Degas and bought my elder daughter a Degas print from the Getty Institute in LA for her 12th birthday as I was arriving home from LA on her birthday. It is still on her wall in her bedroom here though she has moved out. Both my girls danced until about age 17.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/conservation-of-degas#post-1912507 Tue, 24 Apr 2018 21:30:46 +0000 Ledonna N. 1912507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was really nice to see.&nbsp; knowing the mixed media from bronze statue to cloth skirt and hair ties and clothing altogether some 40 years after<br /> Degas&nbsp;</p> <p>made the sculpture. From the human hair wigs.&nbsp; I guess it is more of the nuggets of information that we might have never know about the evolution if you will of the ballerina.&nbsp; </p> <p>Side note his voice was very soothing.&nbsp; I liked when he said that as a child it was disturbing for him to see the cloth against the bronze.&nbsp; Tells you if we care for something how much we will remember.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/conservation-of-degas#post-1912484 Tue, 24 Apr 2018 19:50:00 +0000 Adriana 1912484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks.

I had no idea that there had been so many skirt changes. He did a good job. That second one - I agree with him. It was terrible! Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/conservation-of-degas#post-1912450 Tue, 24 Apr 2018 18:03:05 +0000 LaPed 1912450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, fascinating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/conservation-of-degas#post-1912442 Tue, 24 Apr 2018 17:21:33 +0000 Barbara Diane 1912442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kari, for sharing that. It was so interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/conservation-of-degas#post-1912398 Tue, 24 Apr 2018 16:13:52 +0000 Kari 1912398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought this was fascinating: “Watch the Met Give This Famous Ballerina’s Tutu a Makeover”</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/PNBallet/posts/10155812568683952" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/PNBal.....2568683952</a></p> <p>‘The Costume Institute’s conservator, Glenn Petersen, was presented with the challenge of updating the condition of the small dancer’s tutu, which curators thought looked tattered and dirty after all these years. This was actually how it was supposed to look, but not according to Degas. (Or the Met, for that matter.) The skirt has been replaced at least twice before, and therefore the look of its new one was open to interpretation.<br /> “If we can bring something to it now that makes the skirt really look harmonious with the sculpture and shows that we’ve paid attention to the way that Degas depicted dancers and the sense of movement, that will really add to the way that people view the sculpture,” Petersen says in a video depicting his process. “That’s my goal.”‘ </p>
