Study of Two Dancers

Brooklyn Museum photograph
Object Label
Study of Two Dancers represents a later phase in the artist’s work, in which highly simplified outlines have replaced heavily worked forms and densely built-up surfaces. During the teens Davies was almost completely absorbed with the theme of dancers in movement, creating endless variations such as this one.
