I love dance

The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh (the USA).

Oil, board.

The artist’s early works are characterized by a combination of neo-primitivism, expressionism and neo-dadaism. In this work, conditional and multi-scale figures (six of them) are placed in space arbitrarily. Each character depicts some kind of dance step, but this is not a typical composition for everyone – rather, snatched out moments of exercises for warming up. In his student days, Andy was a member of the Modern Dance Club. The author’s attention to repeating decorative elements is visible in the largest figure – the costume of this character with incredibly long legs, even his head and face are covered with a fairly clear geometric pattern. The early works abandoned by the author in Pittsburgh were preserved thanks to the brother of the artist, who tried to keep most of them.
