Artwork Story: During their many extended journey to art exhibitions in the US, Victor and his wife Margalit loved to visit the Metropolitan Opera House in New York and watch ballet performances. After one of those visits to the Opera House, while on the subway on their way back to their hotel, Victor pulled a pen and a small notebook out of his pocket and drew a small sketch, only 7 cm wide, of the dancers. In that moment of inspiration, one of the artist’s most outstanding sculptures was born. The dignity, lightness, harmony and symmetry of the movements, characteristic of the Swan Lake, were the inspiration for this sculpture. Through the ethereal, elegant movement of the sculptured dancers, the artist could imagine himself moving with them. The duplication motif of the figures, which appears also in other sculptures of the artist, characterizes the ballet dancers’ performance. In the duplication motif, the figures may be next to each other, as in this sculpture, or facing and mirroring each others. In either case, the duplicated and connected figures symbolize harmony and unity.
