Two Sketches for Deadman's Curve
c. 1940

Sketches of two dance scenes on yellow paper. The top sketch shows a group of figures in a lively dance with flowing movements, while the bottom sketch depicts three figures in a more intimate dance, with one leading the others. Both sketches are rough and gestural, capturing the essence of movement.
