Dancing Figure displays the geometrically simplified forms and softened angles that are a hallmark of Elie Nadelman’s work. Its spiraling composition presents a woman whose body partially twists on bended knee. Her raised arms echo the position of her legs. A larger version of this sculpture was originally conceived in limestone to decorate an outdoor garden in Long Island.
