la danseuse étoile
oil on canvas

  This painting of a prima ballerina, is one of the latest of the Blue Paintings and was painted using only white, black and paynes grey. Ballet was developed as a separate, performance-focused art form in France during the reign of Louis XIV, who was passionate about dance. Centuries later, ballet is being brought to the townships of South Africa.
