How does Degas's focus on observation apply today?
My dedication to rigorous observation and the study of form is timeless. Today, with the proliferation of digital images, it might seem that observation is less critical. Yet, the ability to truly *see*, to analyze and understand what you are looking at – whether it is the way light falls on a surface or the subtle expression on a face – remains paramount. My work encourages a deeper engagement with the visual world, a process of breaking down complexity to grasp underlying structure and truth, a skill valuable in any field that relies on understanding reality.
