Ecstatic Dancer. Original lithograph printed in color, 1948. Edition: 200 signed impressions as published in the deluxe edition of James S. Plaut's 1948 monograph, Oskar Kokoschka, which coincided with Kokoschka's first U.S. museum show, held at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston.

Sir Ernst Gombrich has praised Kokoschka as the greatest portraitist of the century. Here what he portrays is the ecstasy of one who is outside him or herself, the one who has surrendered so completely that the dancer has become the dance.
