More about this artwork

The painting depicts a dynamic and colorful scene with two figures engaging in an acrobatic bicycle performance. The foreground features a bicycle ridden by a male figure dressed in white and black attire, intensely focused as he pedals and maneuvers the bicycle. On his shoulders, a female figure balances gracefully. She is dressed in a flowing outfit with shades of red and orange, resembling a costume one might see in a circus or a performance show. Her arms are outstretched, adding to the sense of motion and balance. The backdrop is abstract, filled with swirling colors of yellow, blues, and greens, suggesting a rapid movement or perhaps the blurring of the stage and audience. Her red hair seems to flutter with motion, echoing the vibrancy and the whirl of activity in the 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.
