You’ve seen the statue. Now, hear the story of suspense behind it. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Sometimes, the most intriguing part of a work of art is what you don’t see. On September 21, New York Times-bestselling author, Cathy Marie Buchanan, will share the gripping story behind Degas’ Little Dancer Aged 14 and one of the Parisian Belle Époque era’s most famous criminal trials in a fitting setting, Windsor’s Mackenzie Hall.
People, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Chicago Tribune, Globe and Mail, and others have singled out The Painted Girls, a national bestseller in Canada. Come hear about this riveting Moulin Rouge-esque tale in ballet slippers, the captivating story of a little girl who is forced into the risqué world of dance and art modeling to survive, and ends up immortalized as one of the world’s most famous statues.
