Conclusion
Degas effectively used the materials and formal elements to illustrate a theme. This theme is that of woman and women potential as a pure symbol of love. However, the beauty of this artwork is that it can be interrupted oppositely. A viewer can also see that because she is nude, she is dirty and undesirable in society. I do not believe this was the artist's intention. I believe he was completely focused on studying her physically for motion's sake and also for his own gratification.

Impressionism: Introduction and Background Known for its radical departure from traditional aesthetics in painting and the decorative arts, Impressionism was a movement deeply rooted in its ideological, cultural, political, and sociological context. The characteristic visual features of Impressionist painting include experimentation with untraditional colors and styles that signal the early transition towards non-representational forms. Subject matters in Impressionist art changed from depicting officially sanctioned people, places, and symbols towards capturing snapshots
Pissarro took a special interest in his attempts at painting, emphasizing that he should 'look for the nature that suits your temperament', and in 1876 Gauguin had a landscape in the style of Pissarro accepted at the Salon. In the meantime Pissarro had introduced him to Cezanne, for whose works he conceived a great respect-so much so that the older man began to fear that he would steal his
