Description

This elegantly refined bronze sculpture is a major work by Georges Flamand (1866 - circa 1931), depicting a Dancer in a suspended moment of grace and movement. One arm raised fluidly above her head, the other outstretched in an ethereal gesture, the nude female figure seems to dance in slow motion, body turned in a supple, poetic twist.
Dating from the turn of the century, this large figure (83 cm) is a striking embodiment of the Art Nouveau aesthetic: sinuous lines, controlled sensuality, a celebration of the female body as a vector of emotion and organic beauty. The gesture is fluid, rhythmic, almost musical - the gaze naturally follows the upward curve of the arm to the sloping face, in a pose that combines abandon and classical elegance.
The bronze's modelling is of rare finesse: muscles, skin and hair are treated with an idealized naturalism that remains imbued with emotion. The hair seems to vibrate, the face is imbued with a gentle exaltation, and the tension of the body expresses both control and freedom.
The brown patina, warm and silky with glowing shades, delicately captures the light and reinforces the subtle interplay of volumes. It suggests a high-quality antique print, probably cast during the artist's lifetime, and gives the sculpture a well-balanced visual presence.
The sober, circular bronze base bears the signature of G. Flamand and accentuates the verticality and lightness of the movement.
