About Degas Ballerina:
Edgar Degas created a sensation when he presented his Little Dancer sculpture at the Impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1881. His intention was to portray a young girl who dreamed of having an “illustrious life” in ballet, but who also kept “her identity as a girl from the streets of Paris.
About the Creation:
Joe Rubinstein came to paint this portrait composition after repeatedly discovering an exhibition of ‘The Little Dancer of Fourteen Years’ at museums around the United States. While touring comic culture events, Joe often steps out into the city to visit a local gallery or museum. His admiration for Degas and continued interaction with the little ballerina-inspired his creation.
"My early work was heavily influenced by Degas. This is one of my favorite pieces. I thought her body gesture was best seen in the profile. I love her face so much so I layered the close-up and full figure and did it in watercolor to speak more to her delicacy.” – Joe Rubinstein
About the Artist:
Josef "Joe" Rubinstein, born in Germany 1958 is a Hall of Fame comic book artist whose storied career spans more than four decades with notable credits that include the acclaimed 1982 Wolverine mini-series, the Infinity Gauntlet series and The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe. Joe is known to be the artist to have given artist Art Adams (the Uncanny X-Men) his first professional work and nurtured the careers of Kyle Baker (Plastic Man), Jose Marzan, Jr. (The Flash) and Dale Keown (The Incredible Hulk).
