The artwork, titled “Femme dansant,” was created by the artist Le Corbusier in 1954. It belongs to the Cubism art movement and is classified under the genre of sculpture.
The artwork presents a dynamic and abstract form, characteristic of the Cubist style. It depicts a dancing woman, rendered in a series of geometric shapes and interlocking planes. The figure is crafted with a combination of curving lines and angular forms, blending to convey both movement and stillness. The subtle use of color further accentuates the shapes, with earthy tones and a touch of purple highlighting different parts of the figure. The sculpture, standing delicately on a single leg, evokes a sense of grace and fluidity, emblematic of the subject’s dance. The minimalist background draws complete attention to the intricately balanced form of the dancer, inviting viewers to appreciate the harmonious interplay between structure and motion.
