The story
One of four panels in which Mucha personified Dance, Painting, Poetry and Music as women, each set in an arched niche against a decorative ground. Dance is the most kinetic of them: she twists, arms raised, her drapery and her long hair whipping to the left as though a wind had just crossed the panel, while a spray of autumn leaves blows through behind her. Mucha builds the whole sense of movement out of line alone, with almost no modelling. Sold as an affordable decorative print for ordinary households — the democratic idea at the heart of Art Nouveau, that beauty should be printable.
