Degas was born today in 1834. His friend, the American artist Mary Cassatt, was the model for this slice-of-life painting.
[Hilaire-Germain-Edgar Degas. At the Milliner’s. c. 1882.]
I am deeply grateful to MOMA for sharing its post on Tumbler. I tend to get overwhelmed by the happenings of the world [by choice I do admit -- simply because I'd rather know than not -- even when so much is all but inconceivable to me] that I forget to stop and reflect on the beauty that is equally a part of the whole -- especially when captured through the artistry of those who share themselves . . . as Degas has.
