You’ve probably heard of an artist named Edgar Degas, but even if you haven’t, I’d bet you’ve seen his sweet and whimsical ballerina paintings. Degas was obsessed with the ballet and created approximately 1,500 works of the subject. When we sift through them, we see dancers and instructors, musicians and mothers, but once in a blue moon, Degas depicts these mysterious figures wearing black suits, watching and waiting usually backstage or in the wings. But who are these men and why are they at the ballet? Here’s the story!
