The title of the work: "The Odalisque" recalls the painting: "Grand Odalisque" by Ingres (1814), but distorts its meaning. Here, in fact, the woman does not appear naked, but more engaged in the activity of a restless covering herself.
In the immediacy of energy and fragility, which is fragmented in the succession of squares, emerges the metaphorical reversal of the "grand odalisque". |
