Gallery Label

Edgar Degas depicted the ballet in a modern way, in both its splendor and triviality. Here, the artist contrasts the graceful movements of a dancer with the awkward poses of ballerinas adjusting their costumes in the compressed space. Degas also juxtaposes the young women in frothy frocks with the commanding air of the old ballet master to the left and the sinister appearance of the dark-suited, wealthy observer to the right.

Degas used many types of media to create his dense, dynamic strokes of saturated color, making his pastels especially prone to flaking. This pastel is displayed on an angle to minimize the effects of gravity.

By descent to her daughter, Mrs. Peter Hood Ballantine Frelinghuysen (née Adaline Havemeyer, 1884-1963), Morristown, NJ, and Palm Beach, FL, by April 10, 1930-July 25, 1932 [2];

Given to her son, George Griswold Frelinghuysen (1911-2004), Beverly Hills, CA, 1932-April 14, 1965 [3];

Purchased at his sale, Impressionist and Modern Paintings, Sculptures, Drawings: “La Glace Haute” and “Ma Maison à Vernon” by Bonnard; “La Barque à St. Jean” and “La Madone du Village” by Chagall; “Répétition de Ballet” by Degas; “La Baignade devant le Port de Pont-Aven” by Gauguin; “Femme à l’Ombrelle Verte” by Matisse; “Les Peupliers” and “Nymphéas” by Monet; “Volume de Choses” by Staël; “Les Déchargeurs” by Van Gogh; “Portrait de la Comtesse de Noailles” by Vuillard, Sotheby’s, New York, April 14, 1965, lot 49, as Répétition de ballet, through Stephen Hahn, New York, by Norton Simon (1907-1993), Beverly Hills, CA, 1965-May 2, 1973;

NOTES:

[1] Elder wrote in her memoirs that she purchased the pastel at an unnamed color shop. Scholars have not been able to definitively identify which one, but Portier, Latouche and Père Tanguy have all been proposed. Tanguy’s shop is cited by Susan Alyson Stein in Elder’s memoirs. See Frances Weitzenhoffer, The Havemeyers: Impressionism Comes to America (New York: Harry N. Abrams, 1986), 21, and Louisine W. Havemeyer, Sixteen to Sixty: Memoirs of a Collector, ed. Susan Alyson Stein, 2nd ed. (New York: Ursus Press, 1993), 331n291.

The date of Elder’s purchase of the work is not certain, but it was one of Elder’s first purchases, bought on the advice of her friend, artist Mary Cassatt (American, 1844-1926). Most scholars agree that Elder bought the pastel by 1877; see Havemeyer, Sixteen to Sixty, 331n291. Elder definitely owned the pastel before February 1878, when she lent it to the Eleventh Annual Exhibition of the American Water Color Society.

[2] Louisine Havemeyer may have given the pastel to her daughter when she married on February 7, 1907. Havemeyer writes, “As each of you acquired a home of your own I gave to you works of art to beautify it, believing it would be the wish of Father to have me do so. These objects are yours and the disposition you finally make of them, your responsibility.” Havemeyer also noted, “Degas: I have given Adaline…the one I bought when a girl.” This was probably in reference to the Nelson-Atkins’ pastel, which Havemeyer fondly recalled in her memoires as her first Degas purchase when she was still a teenager. See Louisine Waldron Elder Havemeyer, “Notes to My Children” regarding disposition of Havemeyer art collection, Series II. Miscellaneous, box 3, folder 23, pp. 1, 7, The Havemeyer Family Papers relating to Art Collecting, The Metropolitan Museum of Art Archives, New York. In any case, the pastel was not in Havemeyer’s will listing artworks to be donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and it was also not among the artworks donated by Havemeyer’s three children in 1929. It was published in the 1931 H. O. Havemeyer Collection catalogue as being in Frelinghuysen’s collection.

[3] Paper label on the pastel’s verso inscribed: “To George on his / 21st birthday / from Mother”.
