ABRAHAM WALKOWITZ
Isadora Duncan.

Brush and ink and wash on smooth, cream wove paper. 350x235 mm; 13 3/4x9 1/4 inches. Signed in black ink, lower left recto.

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."
