Hula Swing epitomizes Foley’s mastery of flowing lines and the realistic, dimensional contours of the human figure. Applying her drawing skills to this voluptuous hula dancer, Foley demonstrates her appreciation for the sensuous and dynamic qualities of the Hawaiian woman. Her figurative renderings in oil and in charcoal capture the dancer’s essential beauty and mirror the grandeur of Polynesians, imparted by her colleague and friend, Madge Tennent.
