While looking through the art section in the New York Times, I couldn't help but think of the relation between figure 4.19 in Launching the Imagination Myron, Discus Thrower (diskobolos) and "Denuded" by Bruno Isakovic. While figure 4.19 uses kinesthetics, or "the science of movement" to engage the observer to make them see movement within the marble statue, Bruno Isakovic's "Denuded" is a dance, but the excerpt that is shown in this article is a snapshot of a dancer's back during a single second of her performance. While this is a single picture, the sway of the dancer's back and placement of lighting shows her movement. How interesting it is that movement can be shown both in marble and in a photo of a moment in time from a live dance.
