Suddenly Degas

Untitled #27: Young North Korean ballet dancer. Photo: Chris Marker. As John Fitzgerald writes in “CorĂ©ennes”, an essay on Chris Marker photography taken in North Korea in the late 1950s, on display at Peter Blum Gallery in New York, United States, “The little ballerina in Untitled #27 more closely calls to mind the world of Edgar Degas than Kim Il-sung”.
