Although not an exact replica, the dramatic lighting, chiaroscuro, positions of figures AND all of our talk of Stevie's neck/head..this struck a chord with me. Christine peering over Lindsey's shoulder wearing the headscarf is almost too spot on to be a coincidence. Thoughts anyone? Has this ever been mentioned?
I thought it was at least a possible influence..since the group had an artistic background, the Dance used Matisse's work as an inspiration and Tango obviously used an actual painting for its cover. |
Hi, and thanks! I'm really amazed by the similarities between the pictures! Caravaggio was one of the most representative painters of the Baroque, and this so similar...the neck of the man, the old woman in the right, looking for somewhere...I don't know if there's a coincidence or not! FM really had, as we can see, a big interest for arts!
For me, Chris' eyes are looking at Lindsey, but now that you say it, I can think she's looking to somewhere too!
Regards,
Mark.
