Degas' Little Dancer

When she falls in love with Edgar Degas' first sculpture, The Little Dancer (La Petite Danseuse) she wills herself back in time to become the artist's model

But Monsieur Degas does not want a model - Monsieur Degas is going blind

'Rie must work much harder than she thought to become a famous work of art, and Degas must overcome his failing eyesight to work with the smartest model he's ever encountered

Together, the two of them learn to embrace the passionate challenge of making art

Dance, rhythmic language, and century-shifting action make this a dramatic adventure packed with meaning and momentum

"Sometimes the story behind a work of art can enhance our understanding of the work, can add to its resonance, can teach us what it means to be an artist and what it means to be human Degas' Little Dancer does just that"~ Robert Faires, The Austin Chronicle
