This is an original larger pastel drawing on paper by American artist Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO). The work is 25.5” high by 17.5” wide and is matted in white museum board to a frame size of 31” high x 23” wide. The subject is a full-length portrait of a ballerina rehearsing in a ballet studio. She wears the traditional pink tights and pink pointe shoes with a black spaghetti strap leotard and black tutu. Her hands are on her waist as she leans forward onto the tip of her front pointe shoe. In the corner behind her is another female dancer, also leaning into the top of one pointe shoe, wearing a black leotard and gray-green wrapped sweater. The palette is fairly broad with pinks and blacks, along with soft blues, greens and browns. The work is aptly titled “Dancers in the Studio” and was drawn of the ballet studio below the artist’s studio at that time. The work excellent condition and signed front lower left by the artist.

Born 1948, Denver, CO. Saatchi site presence maintained by Young's Fine Art. Extensive website at delacruzarts.com. "De La Cruz's mastery of formal and experimental techniques reflects a career dedicated to creative probing and discipline. It is rare indeed to come into contact with an artist who so successfully ranges from abstraction to surrealism in single canvases. Themes of personal identity and interpersonal responsiveness are layered into his work, allowing the viewer to share in the artist's process of questioning the relationships of his subjects to the world. The insights that develop in his works are universal in their ability to connect the reflective with the informative." Joaquin Alvarado Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO) was listed among the three dozen most influential regional artists of the twentieth century in a Denver Post survey of regional curators (2001). His was the only Spanish surname. At the first International Latino Art Auction held in Phoenix, AZ in conjunction with Sotheby's (2003), De La Cruz proved the best selling artist of the auction and drew the highest auction price for a single work. The Denver Art Museum's first purchase of a living Hispanic's work for its permanent collection was a De La Cruz. Years later, he was the only artist considered when that same museum wanted to commission a contemporary digital work commemorating the opening of its new Libeskind Building (2007). De La Cruz was the recipient of back-to-back artist in residency grants from Colorado in his early career and received as well their very last painting fellowship in 2000. For a spell in 2006, works of De La Cruz were included in three unrelated art museum exhibits in Denver (Denver Art Museum, El Museo and the Mizel). Other honors include award of Best Art Event of the Year by Westword Magazine and appointment to Denver's Commission on Arts and Culture. De La Cruz currently splits his time between his studio in the Santa Fe District in Denver and his new studio in the Little River District of Miami.
