Degas shocked critics by painting the ballerinas resting, yawning, adjusting their costumes, and scratching their backs. Critics were used to seeing only "beautiful" portraits of famous ballerinas.

So, show off your knowledge of Impressionism and keep that rain off your head with this 48" auto-open auto-close umbrella.

Edgar Degas 'Ballerinas' Folding Umbrella

Degas loved to paint ballerinas. But, he broke with tradition by showing the dancers practicing instead of performing. This unglamorous portrayal of these popular subjects was the cause of much ridicule toward Degas. But, since we're selling a Degas umbrella and not the umbrella by some guy who painted ballerinas in the act of performing, I guess we know who had the right idea.
