It is dusk, and girls are bathing in the river after a day's work. The evening sun is radiating its last golden rays. Contentment is the emotional touchstone of this graphic. The artist captures the vibrancy of life and demonstrates life's essence, which is celebrated by the creatures of different forms. The curving and undulating lines of the girls' figures make them appear to be drifting in the soft wind, as if they were waltzing. The intermittent, horizontal lines of the birds' bills interrupt the music of their movement. The artist's superimposition of the perpendicular lines transforms the simple waltz into a full-blown symphony- a symphony of life accentuated by the laughter of human voices, singing birds, and the splash of fish. Finally, when peace descends again, a mirage remains in front of our eyes; the girls are becoming a flock of birds, or rather the birds are becoming the bathing girls. The artist's belief in the oneness of life is once again affirmed. |
