Dominant colour
High Acrobatic is a 1973 watercolor by Barbara Nessim, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour painting shows three high-heeled shoes in different colours. The left shoe is grey, the middle one is blue, and the right one is red. Each shoe has a wedge heel and a strap that goes over the top of the foot. The shoes are drawn in a simple, sketchy style, with bold lines and minimal details. The background of the painting is white, which helps the shoes stand out. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication, as if the shoes are being showcased in a fashion magazine. If you like this painting, you might also enjoy the work of Barbara Nessim, the artist who created it.
The design *High Acrobatic* by Barbara Nessim, created in 1973, depicts a high-heeled shoe intended for potential production by Carber Shoes, with material specifications noted below the sketches.
