He made art from things that no painter had fully used before: the way a discarded dress, still warm from the now naked body, keeps some of the shape of its wearer; the unconcern of a dancer scratching her back between practice sessions in The Dance Class, 1873-76; the tension in a relationship between a man and a woman (Sulking, 1869-71) or the undercurrent of violence in an affair (Interior, sometimes known as The Rape...
