Dancers Plaster cast, height 69.5 cm, by Milly Steger, c. 1920 Location unknown |

|
A dancing couple, slender,
elegant, and supple, stands as a symbol of sophistication rooted in
cultivated modernity. Shaped by avant garde artistic and musical
culture, the work pays homage to early twentieth century
expressionist dance. Through a considered application of primitivism
to the human body, musical rhythm is translated into a sculptural
pair whose movement is held in balanced, interdependent form. |
