    Paul McCarron 88

  • Catalogue Essay

    Shadow Dance may be seen as one of Lewis's most abstract prints. He all but blocked out the print's one light source, the sun, with two sets of three figures. The figures dominate the space as their shadows and the diagonal perspective lines of the buildings radiate around them, forming kaleidoscopic patterns.

    The location depicted appears to be the intersection of 34th Street and Park Avenue, looking west.
