Form without flesh, rhythm without muscle—Contour Study No. 1 captures a dancer drawn entirely from movement. Her body and dress ripple in unified lines, like a topographic map of motion. There’s no shading, no illusion of depth—just the quiet certainty of gesture made permanent.
Each curve suggests intention, but not explanation. The raised arm, the sweeping skirt, the poised feet—they hint at choreography, but leave the music to your imagination.
—Etching on paper. Best hung somewhere still, where lines have space to breathe.
