Pas deours Dance: A Cubist Illustration by Juan Gris (1887-1927) This image captures the essence of the Pas deours Dance, a historical and intriguing dance phenomenon that originated in France around the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The name of the dance, which translates to 'step of bears,' is said to have been inspired by the way the dancers moved, resembling the lumbering gait of bears. However, it is important to note that while the dance gained significant popularity in France, it is not exclusive to the French-speaking world and has been known by various names in English-speaking countries, including the 'Bear Trot.' The Pas deours Dance was a social dance that gained popularity in the early 1900s and was often performed in the evenings at social gatherings and balls. The dance involved a series of steps, including a characteristic 'bear step,' which was executed with a shuffling, heavy-footed gait. The dance was typically performed in pairs, with the dancers holding each other's hands and moving in a circular pattern around the dance floor. This stunning illustration of the Pas deours Dance is by the renowned Cubist artist Juan Gris (1887-1927). Gris was a Spanish painter and sculptor who was a key figure in the Cubist movement, which sought to revolutionize the way art was perceived by breaking down traditional forms and perspectives. This illustration, created circa 1910, showcases Gris' unique interpretation of the Pas deours Dance, with its fragmented and abstracted forms, bold lines, and vibrant colors. The dancers' dresses are depicted in a fluid, almost abstracted manner, adding to the sense of movement and energy in the image. Overall, this illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Pas deours Dance and the artistic vision of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
