The artwork titled “Dancer Miss Olga George” was created by the artist Koloman Moser in 1911 in Austria. This piece belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is categorized within the portrait genre.
The artwork features a stylized depiction of a dancer, presumably Miss Olga George, rendered in a distinctive Art Nouveau style. The dancer is adorned in a vibrantly patterned costume comprised of geometric shapes and contrasting colors including shades of yellow, blue, and black. She stands against a dark background interwoven with vertical red stripes that are adorned with small, eye-like shapes, creating a visually rhythmic and almost theatrical effect. The dancer’s pose and the bold patterns suggest a sense of movement and elegance, capturing the essence of performance. The use of color and design embodies the hallmark ornamental elegance of the Art Nouveau movement, and the piece is signed by the artist in the lower left corner.
