Spanish Dancer (Danseuse Espagnole) 1899

"Spanish Dancer (Danseuse Espagnole)" is a 1899 lithograph by Jacques Villon, a prominent figure in the early 20th century avant-garde art movement. The artwork depicts a woman in a black dress with a red petticoat, dancing at a table surrounded by other people. Villon uses simplified forms, bold colors, and expressive lines to capture the movement and energy of the dance, representing a style of art that was emerging at the time. The composition's flatness and geometric shapes are characteristic of early 20th-century art, with the viewer's attention drawn to the dynamic figure of the woman.
