◐ Artist World Record ◑

드가 또한 '눈'이다. 세잔이 감탄한 '대단한 눈' 모네가 대기와 햇빛의 색깔을 분별할 수 있었다면, '여려 겹의 현실을 관찰하는 눈' 드가는 산업화된 근대 도시인들이 자기 시대를 어떻게 겪어내고 있는지를 볼 수 있었다.

모더니티의 수도로 일컬어지던 19세기말 파리 시민의 일상을, 전에 없던 독특한 시각으로 포착한 작품을 통해 드가가 보여준 것은, 이들 주위를 공기처럼 둘러싸고 있는 고립과 소외, 긴장과 공허, 권태와 외로움, 그 불가피한 상황에서 만들어지는 새로운 아름다움이었다.

드가는 다양한 분야의 친구들과 교류했으나, 어떤 무리에서도 구별이 되는 아웃사이더였는데, 그런 외부인의 눈이 '사회적 명암법(social chiaroscuro)'을 탄생시켜, 너무 가까워 보이지 않았던 근대 생활의 본질을 모든 사람이 볼 수 있게 만든 것이다. [ 김진희 미술평론가 / 네이버캐스트 ]
