Edgar Degas is renowned for his unique approach to Impressionism, characterized by his focus on movement and the human form, particularly in scenes of Ballet dancers and everyday life. He often employed unusual perspectives and cropping, drawing inspiration from Photography and Japanese art. Degas favored a palette of muted colors and utilized pastels and oils to create depth and texture in his works. His mastery of light and shadow further enhanced the dynamic quality of his compositions.
