There is a need for beauty in all our lives!.
It is my pleasure to celebrate the beauty of the language of movement. It is the essence of movement that I try to capture in my work.

Native Brooklynite Richard Barclift (1945-) focuses many of his drawings of brush and ink on dance movements.
In an article for the Dance Book Forum, Niamami Mutima discusses Barclift's dance drawings: In the twist of a stroke, he captures the power of the movement from its origin to its results ... His mastery lies in his spontaneity and uninterrupted stroke ... He not only records the line but comments in it as well.
Barclift's artistic fascination lies in the attempt to capture the essence of dance movements as they are executed, whether on the basketball court or the busy city streets. He chooses to have a workspace that has a deep relationship with a dance studio or rehearsal hall, so that he is constantly informed and inspired.
