“Dance of the Elements, Bali” by Maurice Sterne (American, born Latvia) - Oil on canvas / 1913 - North Carolina Museum of Art (Raleigh, North Carolina) #WomenInArt #MauriceSterne #Sterne #arttext #art #BlueskyArt #DanceArt #dance #artwork #NorthCarolinaMuseumOfArt #NCArtMuseum #BalineseArt #1910sArt
Painted in 1913, this work is one of Latvian-born American artist Maurice Sterne’s major Bali paintings and one of the largest from his time on the island. Rather than isolating a single heroine, Sterne presents women as the visible force of ritual life: moving together, sustaining rhythm, and activating sacred space. At the center of this large nighttime scene, a circle of women moves in ritual dance. Their brown skin glows against deep blues, greens, and smoky violets, while white cloth wraps flash at the waist and hips. Several dancers raise their arms in curved, rhythmic gestures as others kneel or lean inward, making the whole composition feel tidal and musical. Faces are simplified rather than individualized, so the painting conveys communal movement, ceremony, and atmosphere. Sterne fills the surface with flickering brushwork and shifting patches of light, giving the dancers, trees, temple structures, and night air a vibrating, almost spiritual energy. The scene feels both observed and transformed like part performance, part memory, and part emotional response to Bali. The title suggests more than literal dance. “Elements” can be read as firelight, earth, air, night, sound, and body joining in one ceremonial event. That makes the painting less a straightforward document than an attempt to convey lived intensity like heat, motion, devotion, and collective presence. At the same time, it reflects an early 20th-century Western artist’s encounter with Bali, so it carries both admiration and distance. What remains powerful is its sense of shared energy with women not posed for passive viewing, but acting, circling, and transforming the space around them. The painting turns ceremony into atmosphere … and atmosphere into meaning.

Walter Spies painted "Tierfabel: Tiger and Snake in Combat in a Primeval Forest" in a Bali that was about to be lost and it lives now in a private collection, unseen by most.
