Description

An art scarf inspired by The Met collection.

This striking double-sided scarf reproduces two vibrant oil paintings by Edgar Degas (French, 1834–1917) in The Met collection. A Woman Seated beside a Vase of Flowers (1865) depicts a lady—probably the wife of Degas's childhood friend Paul Valpinçon—lost in thought beside a bursting bouquet. The unusual composition exemplifies the artist's endeavor to capture his subjects in fleeting, slice-of-life moments. The reverse side of the scarf features one of Degas's favorite subjects. The Dance Class (1874) pictures ballerinas and their mothers waiting as a dancer executes an attitude for her examination by the ballet master Jules Perrot. 

We present this elegant accessory in celebration of Manet/Degas, an examination of the close albeit tumultuous relationship between Degas and Édouard Manet (French, 1832–1883. These two highly influential artists were friends, rivals, and, at times, antagonists who worked to define modern painting in 19th-century France. By surveying their careers in parallel and showcasing their work side by side, this exhibition investigates how their artistic objectives and approaches both overlapped and diverged. Through more than 150 paintings and works on paper from The Met collection and beyond, Manet/Degas, on view at The Met Fifth Avenue from September 24, 2023 through January 7, 2024, explores one of the most significant artistic dialogues in modern art history.
