The Haunting Dancer 1911

Gino Severini's "The Haunting Dancer" from 1911 is a striking example of the artist's unique style. This painting uses a technique called Divisionism, where small dots of color are applied to the canvas, creating a mosaic effect. This technique allows for subtle shifts in color and emphasizes the movement of the dancers, captured as fragmented forms against a vibrant backdrop. The use of bold colors, dynamic composition, and the depiction of a dancer's energy are hallmarks of Severini's Futurist style. The work remains a powerful testament to the energy and dynamism of the early 20th century.
