In celebration of the exhibition, Movement is Life, now on view at the Wharton Esherick Museum, we enjoyed highlighting Esherick’s relationship with dancer Ruth Doing, a friend and an early supporter of his work. This 20-minute program explores the flow of ideas between modern dance, intentional living, and graphic arts in the communities of women that developed around teaching a form of modern dance called “rhythmics.” Along the way, we looked at some of Esherick’s early woodcarvings, in particular, his iconic woodblock print of 1923, Rhythms.
