More about this artwork

The painting features an abstract and stylized portrayal of two performers, appearing as acrobat-jugglers. One figure is positioned centrally, lying back on a dark rectangular platform, bending their legs upwards and juggling three balls levitating above them. This figure is wearing a simple, light-colored outfit that contrasts with the dark background. Adjacent, on the right, stands another performer, partially obscured and seeming to balance or display a slight bow in their posture, cloaked in a similar singular tone suit with their arm raised in a poised position.Behind them, a large, asymmetrical yellow shape dominates, perhaps suggesting a spotlight or part of the performance space. Abstract designs, possibly depicting other elements like confetti or performance paraphernalia, float around the figures. A large circular form with sections of teal, white, and red sits off to the left side, contributing to the sense of a dynamic and colorful performance scene.

Charles Demuth (1883-1935) was one of the leading artists during the American Modernism era. He was distinguished for intimate watercolors and cubic architectural paintings. Demuth studied art at Académie Julian in Paris, where he was welcomed into the avant-garde art scene and met other American Cubism artists like Marsden Hartley. His watercolor figures have a weightless and surrealistic character with a sensitive linear style, in which he illustrated plays and novels such as Émile Zola's Nana. He also depicted an evolving gay scene of encounters at bath houses through watercolors for his close friends, like the "Turkish Bath", works that now are of great historical significance. Demuth later employed a cubist technique by painting industrial factories with complex structural planes, leading him to becoming a pioneer for the precisionist movement.
