Little Dancer Aged 14

Enigmatic and remote, yet very much present and perhaps all too real: that is the Little Dancer Aged 14, by Degas. Beginning with information on the artist’s life, this program brings to light the genesis of Degas’ immortal wax sculpture, background on the unusual model who posed for it, and the uproar the piece caused at its debut, where it stood at stark odds with the ideas of feminine beauty then in vogue. Illustrations of studies, both nude and clothed, that Degas drew for it; high-tech forensic analysis of it; and a peek into the seamy side of the world of ballet in 19th-century Paris provide additional insights. A BBCW Production. (50 minutes)
