1982, Siesta, Oil on
cardboard, 20cm*30cm |
|
It occurred to me that many viewers found this
simple picture with its unrealistic details particularly
interesting. This
may be because often subtle innuendos are sufficient to reach out
and awaken certain mental images. And God knows,
there are no shortages of suggestions here. So, for instance, one
understands the meaning: bull fight, Spanish customs
in which the Siesta also belongs Then further: the lascivious
stance of the hind legs to the left under a gathered skirt
reminds one of wild dances. The vertical pole has a Sombrero on
its head, which could also be the lever of a water pump;
a divining rod hangs on this lever, with which one could look for
water in dry desert, etc. etc.
