gremlinbehaviour:oscarthefrump: #every time I see this picture I am briefly overwhelmed#this piece of art outlived its context and milieu#but. but. in reality there is no such thing#because art is made anew with every glance. it comes to life. awakens laughing#and time compresses. softens. the past is not so much a mystery if we remember we weren’t the first to dance.#this is what art is for#this is what it can do#it doesn’t only speak to us of our own humanity#it reminds us that humanity is shared. this girl isn’t dancing in a mirror. she is dancing with a friend.#paintings don’t simply show us the world. they help teach us how to live in it. (via @robotmango) [ID: a little girl in a museum standing in front of a painting of a dancer and doing her best to imitate it. The girl stands on one leg, her other knee raised, is leaning backwards, and has her arms wide. The woman in the painting stands on one leg, her other knee raised and her foot stretched out gracefully. She’s leaning backwards with her arms stretched above and behind her, holding a piece of cloth she’s incorporating in her dance. /ED]ID copied from @guinevere01 -- source link
