Movement in Visual Art and Sculptures

For one of our assignment tasks, we had to find 4 examples of visual art and sculpture and discuss how they express movement. Here are my pictures:

"Dancing" by Maggie Squire.

Here is a statement written by the artist about the sculpture:
"Dancing... is part of my soul, I love movement in what I do because for me it is both physical and metaphysical movement. This sculpture was made from pieces picked up in a field near my home. Each figure was made of pieces from a single walk."

This piece by Maria Gurevich reminds me of the whimsical motifs in Chagall paintings. Just by suspending the scuplture in the air for the shot with her legs outstretched, the figure looks like she is floating. The slight raise of her skirt and the ruffle of in her hairpiece also allude to a passing breeze.

This is a photograph from La Clique (a cabaret show in London). I love how the camera dramatically captures the flick of water as the dancer emerges from the bath. I suppose in this way, the movement is seen by the trail it has left.

The Scream by Edvard Munch (1893). The movement is visible in the artist's sweeping brushstrokes and accentuated by bright, contrastic colours that lead the viewer's eyes around the painting.
