Garth Williams's 1940 drawing The New School of Dancing makes fun of modern dance, depicting its practitioners as awkward marionettes in a mechanized art form. Their movements are anything but graceful. The turntable on which the male dancer stands is rotated by a fan belt. The drawing apparently predates the illustrator's attempt to break into The New Yorker. It has been sold by Downtown Brown Books of Portland, Oregon, for $300.
