One more painting by Edgar Degas – The Star. You know how admired was the artist by ballerinas and this painting is really nice. The main dancer (star) is far from all others – we can see how special she is.

The scandalous painting
When he painted it, Degas didn’t give it the dual name. He called it ‘Interior’ and asked his friend to take it to the national library. He took the painting but he signed one thing… ‘Have a look at a little carpet in the front of the bed, it’s shocking. The room is too lighted. Without any mysterious…’ The national library was the main establishment of cultural development, so everyone recognised the implication. They denied to buy it with name of public moral.
At last Degas named the painting true name ‘Rape’.

The artist decided to paint his friend and teacher, Manet with his wife. But the Manet didn’t like the portrait of his wife, so he took the knife and cut a part of the painting.
