A graceful figure, frozen in time. This is the Grecian Dancer Marble sculpture. Here in Houston, she stands, a testament to artistic skill. The Grecian Dancer, a cast bronze sculpture, captures the elegance of a young dancer. She stands nearly 7.5 feet tall in front of Jones Hall. Notice the smooth bronze surface and the pleated folds of her dress. These details give the Grecian Dancer an illusion of flowing movement. Created by Italian sculptor Marcello Mascherini in the early 1950s, the Grecian Dancer was a gift. Mr. and Mrs. Robert D. Straus donated this beautiful artwork to the City of Houston in 1955. She remains a captivating presence, a tribute to the beauty of dance and the generosity of art patrons.
