Edgar Degas' (1834-1917), ballet dancers and late nudes constitute one of the peaks of nineteenth-century art. Contemporaries described Degas's nudes in terms of excited horror: "Crouching, gourd-like women fill the bathtubs ... who are these women? Whores or housewives? Nobody knows." But instead of dramatizing the figure's nakedness, Degas discreetly allows her to carry on with her essentially private activities, unobserved and therefore uninhibited and this "keyhole" depiction has attracted so much hostile attention from his contempories.
