Portraits / The Fourth One

Nadia Khuzina, MFA

I made this on 11"x14" canvas board as part of my series on women in the Soviet Union. It is not just about lesbians in the USSR, rather all women. It isn't really political so I have included it in the portrait section. I had idea for this after catching a cat staring up at me.

This work features three ballet dancers practicing with a curious cat at their feet. I tried to give it a nice retro 70's feel. Here is a good youtube video showing the kind of feel I am talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCC8iPbKBNU
