Three Signed Drawings

Three signed pencil drawings by the American Modernist painter, depicting a dancing figure, likely Isadora Duncan, who was his favorite subject. Each drawing signed at the foot by Walkowitz. Toned edges, a few short creases and tears. Each 10.5 x 7.75 inches (27 x 17.5 cm).

Walkowitz first met Duncan, who had captured the attention of the avant-garde with her innovative dance, at the studio of Auguste Rodin in 1906. Walkowitz was captivated by Duncan's spontaneous and free language of movement, and over time made thousands of drawings of her dancing form, even after her death in 1927. Walkowitz said later of Duncan: "...she was a Muse. She had no laws. She didn't dance according to the rules. She created. Her body was music..." (15203)
