Dancer in a bathing suit
Germany, Berlin
Circa 1930
Bronze, ivory, onyx (base); casting, colored patination, ivory carving
Circa 1930
Balancing on one leg, the dancer raises one knee high and throws up her arms as if briefly frozen in a complex movement. A small ornamented bronze bathing suit emphasizes the modeling of the pale ivory figure. The long lines of the arms and supporting leg make the silhouette especially elongated, while the tall banded-onyx base heightens the impression of verticality.
