|a Costas Dimitriadis was the most committed exponent of Rodin's style in Modern Greek sculpture. He adopted the latter artist's style, with whom he shared a common thematic starting point, especially in his free compositions. What might be characterised as his most innovative contribution to Modern Greek sculpture is also owed to Rodin's influence: He established the fragmented figure as an autonomous, complete work.Prominent place among his free compositions enjoy his nude female figures, either whole figures, or not. His "Nude Woman" (or "Dancer") is a typical work, in which, echoing Rodin's "Woman-Centaur" (c. 1887), with the tense twist of the torso and the arms spread out in exasperation in front, the artist captures a fleeting dancing movement. The torso of this sculpture later became an autonomous work, on which Dimitriadis worked in various sizes. The version in the National Gallery collection went on display at the Venice Biennale in 1936 and is the sculpture which launched the museum's sculpture collection, in 1933.
