I Recall the Dance
1939

This is a black and white print featuring a surreal composition with three distinct sections. On the left, a woman in a flowing dress reaches up towards a zebra pattern. The center shows a classical building facade with statues. On the right, a large profile of a head with an eye, inside of which is a scene of a smaller figure riding a horse, dominates the space. Below the head, a hand holds a lit match near a small flame. The artwork is titled "I See the Dance" and is signed by the artist, Bernarda Bryson Shahn.
