"Exhibited in a vitrine that emphasized the frontal and profile views of the figure, the Little Dancer was a key catalyst for the post-1881 flourish of rigid front and profile poses -- views that flattened pictorial space -- among such avant-garde painters as Whistler, Manet, Sargent, and particularly Seurat. When Degas chose to elevate a lowly, fourteen-year-old 'opera rat' by giving her an iconic pose, he also anticipated radical ideas that would define important aspects of modern and contemporary art."
