Dancers - impressionistic dancing human figures.

Elaborating on the circus theme, this striking diptych (together with Movement II) further explores balance and motion through the juxtaposition of color, form, and light. The silhouetted figures express precariousness in each panel, echoing the surface tensions of color just being held in balance. - “Francoise Gilot: Monograph 1940-2000”. Forward by Dina Vierny. Texts by artist. Biography and analysis pf works by Mel Yoakum, Ph.D. Published by Acatos Publisher. 2000. Page 78 and 79.
