In his cycle glorifying the four arts, Mucha deliberately refrained from traditional attributes, such as plumes, musical instruments and painter’s paraphernalia, instead setting each of the arts against a background related to a time of the day; morning for Dance, midday for Painting, evening for Poetry and night for Music.
Dance, the most sensual of the series, is the sole standing figure. Her sinuous figure and long auburn hair sway in the autumn breeze.
