Degas “Reclining Nude†Edgar Degas, “Studies of Nude†Just imagine that “Reclining Nude†is covered by something like artificial fog – an opaque/cloudy as if veil – blurring the features of the female figure and our visual field.

What a magnificently shining and purely white wild horse! She, as if, underestimated the virile muscles of the jaguar embracing her. She is looking at us. She, as if, feels her impeccable beauty and, as if, doesn’t know that the jaguar’s teeth are already kissing and pressing her flesh. She senses that the admiring eyes […]

Posted by Victor-Katia as Alain Resnais’ “Providence†1971 - John Gielgud Plays the Main Role the Writer Clive Langham, Discussion and Mind-Probing, Examples of Semantic Richness of Cinematic narrations
Clive’s idealistic dream is a disappointment – usually strong people become richer-preacher and ruder-cruder and more hermetically protected from the danger of going down.
