<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fridolina, post: 3282355, member: 17433&quot;]The figure on the right shows anatomical correctness and knowledge of the mechanics of the human body but, no matter how difficult to achieve, it is compulsory and just means to an end. To become art it has also to express an idea or emotion.</p><p>I can’t claim to know what the artist wanted to convey. I can only say what I get as a viewer.</p><p>For me the image represents the beauty and the power of music.</p><p>The female body is shown levitating above the ground. That’s achieved by the position of the feet but also the position of the head. That is where I would look if I suddenly took off the ground. Further, to suggest weightlessness, a gentle breeze blows alongside with the upward motion of the body. I can tell that by the precise billowing of the piece of cloth around her and the arrangement of her hair.</p><p>That is what the music can do. It can make us fly.</p><p>And what about the beauty of the music?</p><p>That’s easy. Put a beautiful female body and voilà. Everything in the position of the body I find elegant. Even the omission of her right hand, IMO, is on purpose. I can’t think of a way to elegantly hold the instrument. So that would have been a distracting spot in a otherwise perfect composition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
