    OK … totally serious. Degas was one of the original “Impressionist” painters. Judging from the date it appears this painting was created about a year before the first ‘Impressionist’ exhibition in Paris which took place in 1874. If anyone reading this is interested in the story of the Impressionist (Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Pissarro, etc) movement there is an EXCELLENT BBC movie – not documentary – in three parts on You Tube starring Richard Armitage for free. Just do a search at You Tube for “The Impressionists mini series”. It is one of the finest and most beautiful productions I have ever seen and can also serve as a crash course in Impressionism.

    Did you just give the “Tomahawk Chop” to Chopin?

    The rehearsal was going so well/ yet something was wrong, she could tell/for the room was a blur/(or it seemed so to her)/ and what was that strange almond smell…

    Degas always started his works with the door in the room and his work is noted for their exquisite realism. And for the impact the brandy he consumed while painting the door had on the rest of the painting…

    She had studied for weeks for the role :/ she had ev’ry note under control/ but a drop of strychnine/ had been placed in her wine/ and she fell somewhat short of her goal.

    It was only a Broadway revival/ and the show is so old, it’s archival/ but this much is certain/ ere they open that curtain/ you don’t go to lunch with your rival…

    The painting was rushed because the models couldn’t stand Degas smell after the beans at lunch.
