Another winter image in my series of bronze sculptures taken at the Joslyn Art Museum's sculpture garden.
Willis A. Strauss Family Garden Gallery
Spirit of the Dance (1932) by painter and sculptor William Zorach (American, born Lithuania, 1887–1996) Zorach’s first large-scale composition, Spirit of the Dance for Radio City MusicHall, also represents his first work in cast aluminum. The work is based on an important concept in his oeuvre: rhythm. In addition to the aluminum work, Zorach had several bronze casts made, including this one. Lent by the University of Nebraska at Omaha, 1974

That's absolutely lovely. The sculpture is beautiful, and the white twigs across the corner add to the gracefulness of the whole photo.
I had not noticed the twigs...
The poor thing. She must be freezing.
A fine, strong, deco-looking piece. Also, it makes me feel cold!

She certainly looks cold!
Omigod! This is here in the USA. It's quite lovely. Don't let our former Attorney General see it, though! He'll have a righteous fit and drape it with a opaque rag of some kind!
She epitomizes the phrase "frozen solid"!
A lovely tribute to beauty and poise.
