Indian Dancers

Ca. 1924. Oil.
Not on display

Attracted by the mythical image of India, a country he never visited, Chicharro here offers a homoerotic and literary vision of two Hindu ritual dancers at rest. The artist, who was living in Rome at this date, paid close attention to realistic details such as the finger dye and the necklaces and bracelets in a painting in which light and colour are used to suggest sensuality.
