    Dance Series:

    After viewing Matisse’s ‘Dance’ at MoMA, the artist was motivated to create a dance-themed painting. He started with drafts, which he revised repeatedly, and for which he chose a warm color palette with yellow as the base to capture the joy of harvest. Ultimately, this process led to the creation of the artwork series titled ‘Dance.’
