Study for Russian Ballet (1914). Max Weber (American, born Russia, 1881-1961). Watercolor on laid paper. Brooklyn Museum.The intense sketchiness and exuberant expression of the figure subject in this watercolor demonstrate the artist’s dramatic departure from traditional figure styles of the late 19th century. His studies ultimately suggested to Weber broad patterns of light and dark and forces of dynamic movement, all of which he would translate into geometricized patterns of line and color. -- source link
