The Call for Help: A Dancer Squared

From Philip Gladstone's Pictures Within Pictures (Museum) Series, works that reference and pay homage to iconic works of art, artists and popular culture, often with a serious underlying message — in this instance, Gladstone playfully riffs on Minimalist painter Frank Stella's iconic 1962 work Jasper's Dilemma
