I have now hung a woodcut titled “Dancing couple” by HAP Grieshaber (local hero in the town where I live now) on the wall in our home office room.
My wife and I disagree in the interpretation of the red (female) figure. Please look at the picture before unblurring the spoiler.
My wife: Below the red figure’s face, two prominent breasts wobbling around. Me: No way these are breasts. Boobs are not stacked vertically. They are ends of a scarf or something.
I just spent a few minutes scrolling the artist’s other work. First, it’s a very cool style and I’m glad to be introduced to it. Second, his graphical approach is sufficiently freeform that your appeal to realistic proportions is, let’s say, rather unconvincing. Representative comparison:
I back your wife’s interpretation without hesitation.
It’s so anatomically incorrect in other ways it’s hard to parse what I see.
That’s not a criticism of the painting, just explaining why I find it hard to answer that question. Looking at that lady makes me feel confused on multiple points.
But based on the other painting: yep. Those are titties.
I’d say less dancing and more of a tussle he’s standing on her foot jabbing his finger in the air while grabbing her and she looks to be trying to push away.
