                      I like this painting, and many more from Edgar Degas. I love to dance, and he would paint exactly that. [Not me] Though many people thought of him as an impressionist, he preferred to be called a realist. Edgar Degas painted many of the things he saw, including normal people. He was really mostly known for all of his paintings of ballerinas. There were even books all about him and his passion of painting ballerinas and related ballet itms and scenes.
