Description

“Matisse Dancers” by Dorit Levinstein, part of her "Studying the Masters" collection, is an original hand-painted bronze sculpture inspired by Henri Matisse's depiction of five female figures dancing ecstatically in a circle. In her interpretation, Levinstein brings to life the primitive art influence and the emotional hedonism that Matisse portrayed, emphasizing the liberation of the body and soul from cultural and social conventions. Levinstein's sculpture uses vibrant colors and dynamic lines to capture the essence of Matisse's flat, schematic figures and their closed, circular formation. The choice of bronze adds a classic dimension, while the hand-painting infuses the work with contemporary energy and personal significance. Levinstein's focus on the connection and friendship between the characters aligns with her own values, making "Matisse Dancers" not just a homage to Matisse but also a reflection of her belief in the power of friendship and happiness. This sculpture invites viewers into Levinstein's artistic universe, where forms, figures, and colors merge to create a deeply expressive and meaningful work.
