Elliott Thompson, Artist
1912-2016
Dancing Lines series (1972)
The Dancing Line paintings are related to the patterns Thompson explored in his earlier series of works. The lines may appear random, but they form a carefully composed pattern. The use of color contributes to their sense of rhythm and motion.
