Dancers

This is a reprint of two plates that I created some years ago. The idea was to try to capture the motion of a ballerina in a single image rather than showing 4 ballerinas in different positions. Here I’ve captured four stages of the motion from the beginning to the end.

This is a three plate etching/aquatint/collograph. The image size is 6-3/4 by 4-11/16 inches. There is an edition of 6 as well as a total of 8 artist’s proofs of previous versions as follows:

1 - Dancers I in red/orange

1 – Dancers I in pastel red/orange

1 – Dancers I in blue/red

2 – Dancers I in brown/rose

1 – Dancers II in red/orange

1 – Dancers III

1 – Blue Dancers III
