We really, really like this ceramic dancing figurine. She embodies feminine power, while also showing off her fine figure and flowy skirt. She quite literally symbolizes the “modern woman” as she is a sculptural example of 1920/30s modernism! The Art Deco movement dominated decorative arts in the early 20th century, as a visual rebellion from the over embellished Victorian age. Clean edges and flowing curves also mirrored the rebellion against ladies corsetry as new age of movement and less restraint offered more opportunity to women,.
