"Dance & Swing"
In these sweeping compositions, highly abstracted, dancing figures reflect the fast rhythm of a Rock n' Roll or Boogie. They awaken in the viewer different images of dance impressions.

Hair Dressing Figures
These completely reduced drawings, which are more reminiscent of fragments of drawings, give with a few lines an approximate impression of a figure combing her hair.

In "Hair Dressing" Iz Maglow has put together two drawings, so that two figures are related to each other. The main aspect of these drawings is the fine hair structure and the attitude of the combing figures. The fact that two figures relate to each other takes away the privacy of the intimate act of combing and reinforces the impression of a "hair-dressing contest".
