It’s giving: dance floor drama, 1911 edition. Moriz Jung’s Apachentänze! turns a gritty Parisian dance craze into full-blown cartoon chaos, flying legs, crooked kisses, and a gramophone barely keeping up. Printed by the Wiener Werkstätte, but it could be a club flyer. Send it to someone who knows the party doesn’t start until things get weird.

This artwork is currently held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
