ABRAHAM WALKOWITZ Isadora Duncan.
Color pastels and charcoal on blue wove paper, circa 1910. 510x330 mm; 20 1/8x13 inches. Signed in charcoal, lower left recto. With a preliminary drawing in charcoal, verso. Ex-collection Zabriskie Gallery, New York, with the label on the frame back.
Walkowitz's (1878-1965) fascination with American dancer Isadora Duncan (1877-1927) is manifest in the many hundreds, if not thousands, of drawings he made of her dancing. At the end of his career, the artist remarked, "She Duncan had no laws. She did not dance according to the rules. She created. Her body was music."
