Little Dancer 1905

Editor: Here we have Charles Cottet’s "Little Dancer," an etching of modest size. The dancer’s fiery skirt really pops against the otherwise muted tones, doesn't it? What's your interpretation of this fleeting moment? Curator: It feels raw, doesn't it? Like a half-remembered dream of the stage. Cottet captures the energy, almost the *heat*, of the performance with those frantic lines. Perhaps he's inviting us to feel the dance, not just see it. What do you think? Editor: That's a lovely way to put it. I was so focused on the visual aspect, I missed that invitation. Curator: Art's like a good conversation, isn't it? Always revealing new layers.
