Edgar Degas called himself a realist rather than an Impressionist, which is partly a technicality of Parisian art-world politics in the 1870s and partly a meaningful distinction, since Degas worked primarily indoors from careful preparatory studies rather than painting outside in the landscape tradition most of his contemporaries favored. The Degas 2027 Wall Calendar from The Gifted Stationery Co. reproduces twelve of those studio works, from the famous ballet rehearsal scenes to the late pastel bathers where the medium was softer than oil and the line looser than watercolor could manage. The printing holds the specific grain of pastel on paper that so much of the late work depends on, with enough color fidelity to carry the muted palette the artist preferred.
