I thought I would include Degas quickly. Degas studied the gestures and poses of human figures in interior settings. I like the way he uses the human form in various ways, through colour he sets a tone and atmosphere. He makes the viewer try and understand the scene, behaviour and action/movement (figures are about to do something, leap off the canvas and start dancing).
He articulates everyday experience, figures going about their lives, daily routines whether these be private or public acts.
