Dancer 1990

"Dancer" is a 1990 painting by American artist Eric Fischl, known for his figurative works exploring themes of sexuality, identity, and social commentary. This painting depicts a lone female figure, a dancer, in traditional Indian attire, performing in a simple, stark setting. Fischl's signature style is evident in the realistic yet slightly exaggerated depiction of the figure, capturing both the beauty and the vulnerability of the human form. This piece is a powerful exploration of individual expression and performance art in a broader cultural context.
