Title:	Rope Dancer
Artist:	Vertes, Marcel (Budapest, 1895 - New York, 1961)
Date:	c. 1925
Medium:	Original Lithograph
Note:	Marcel Vertes: An outstanding twentieth century painter, printmaker and illustrator, Marcel Vertes moved from his native Hungary to Paris during the First World War. Living and working in the famous Latin Quarter, Vertes quickly established himself as one of the most important artists of the Paris scene, thus continuing in the footsteps of Boutet, Forain, Toulouse-Lautrec and others. The art of Marcel Vertes was at its peak during the vibrant and somewhat wild decade of the 1920's. Concentrating upon scenes of Paris street life, portrayals of women and depictions of circus and cabaret acts, Vertes left a legacy of original lithographs and drawings that superbly capture the spirit of 1920's Paris.
	Like many other artists, the devastation of the Second World War forced Marcel Vertes to move to the United States. Settling in New York his reputation as a great artist had been firmly established and he continued his fine work, most particularly in the field of book illustration. Ten years later, he returned to his beloved Paris and spent the remaining years of his life there.
	Constructed almost entirely around quick, nervous strokes, Marcel Vertes's art is forever associated with eroticism. Even in 1920's Paris, these portrayals caused a sensation. Yet even the most prim and proper of critics admitted that his lithographs contained important artistic elements. Such is the case with one of Vertes's greatest lithographs from the era; Rope Dancer. Here, Marcel Vertes combines his beautiful image of a dancer descending on a rope with a second printing of enveloping lines in yellows. Composed of sure and rapid lines, this figure is a masterpiece of art.
