Who created two versions titled Dance I (1909) and Dance II (1910)?

• A. The Beatles, Strawberry Fields Forever (Home Demo Sequence) 1966
• B. Lin-Manuel Miranda, This One's Mine 2018
• C. Pocahontas, First to Dance 1995
• D. Henri Matisse, Dance I 1909 & Dance II 1910

Answer: (D)

Two versions titled Dance I and Dance II were created by Henri Matisse in 1909 and 1910. Matisse, a leading figure in Fauvism, used bold, unmodulated color and simplified, flowing shapes to convey motion and emotion. In these works, a circle of dancers is rendered with vivid color blocks and dynamic lines, emphasizing rhythm and energy over detailed realism. The labeling of I and II signals a pair of related studies of the same motif, a common practice in his exploration of movement and form. The other options point to music or film projects or artists not associated with paintings titled Dance I or Dance II, so they don’t match the specific combination of artist and works.
