Painting Description
"Singer with a Glove" is an 1878 painting by the French artist Edgar Degas, who is widely regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, although he preferred to be called a realist. The painting is a prime example of Degas's interest in the world of Parisian entertainment and his fascination with the figure of the singer on stage. It depicts a female singer performing, her hand adorned with a striking white glove, which draws the viewer's attention and emphasizes the elegance and theatricality of her gesture.
The artwork is executed in oil on canvas and measures approximately 53.3 cm × 41.3 cm (21 in × 16.25 in). It is part of the collection at the Fogg Museum, Harvard Art Museums in Cambridge, Massachusetts. "Singer with a Glove" is characteristic of Degas's innovative composition and his use of color and light to capture the essence of the performer's movement and the atmosphere of the café-concert, a popular entertainment venue of the time.
Degas's interest in the subject matter is reflected in the way he portrays the singer not as a portrait of an individual but as a representation of the performance and the performer's role within it. The painting's composition, with the singer slightly off-center and the use of cropping, suggests the influence of photography and Japanese prints, both of which Degas was known to admire. The work is celebrated for its dynamic representation of modern life in Paris during the late 19th century and contributes to the broader understanding of Degas's oeuvre, which frequently explored the themes of performance, dance, and music.
"Singer with a Glove" has been analyzed by art historians in the context of Degas's broader body of work, particularly his series of performers and his experiments with lighting and perspective. The painting is an important piece within the Impressionist movement, showcasing Degas's distinct approach to capturing the fleeting moments of contemporary life and his ongoing dialogue with the changing nature of art and society during his time.
