This is one of Mondrian's diamond-shaped 'lozenge' canvases — apparently he kept returning to the format through the late twenties and thirties, paring the paintings down until almost nothing was left on them. Naming it after a dance feels almost like a joke next to how little is actually happening on the canvas.

Erisava: That cut off corner on the left is stressing me out for no reason. What's your take?

I keep waiting for them to reach the corner. They never do, and it's driving me a little nuts.
