Descriptionvertical, rectangular image of Isadora Duncan, dancing in green costume; artist explores intersections of movement within Duncan’s figure through line and color; her faceless figure set down first in graphite, as seen by visible pencil under-drawing; ink outlines of her form applied rapidly and do not always adhere to pencil drawings; solid color washes of green applied to dancer’s garment but do not fill entire field; overlapping compositions of pencil, ink and watercolor all combine visually to give impression of vibration and sense of movement.Collections
