ABOUT THE ARTWORK
In this drawing of mine, I have interpreted the lines of a model's foot, these lines so sinuous and so soft, as a visual metaphor of the Secret of the beauty of the female body. As in literature, the synecdoche, an extraordinary rhetorical figure, provides for the transfer of meaning from one word to another, relating a part to the whole, in the same way in this drawing the beauty of the lines of the female foot becomes a graphic metaphor of female beauty “tout-court”. The clear parts of the drawing stand on the background which appears almost flat as in a sacred representation, in an icon completely profane. I tried to capture a moment of the model's pose and, in general, a moment of ideal femininity. I imagined my model could be a tired woman, maybe after a long walk or a trip. She already had a brief meeting, maybe, but that had left her a little pensive, a little dumbfounded and then, by leaning somewhere in a moment of relaxation, she rests her left shoulder. She turns right she looks around for a moment and breathes deeply the air enters the nostrils her makeup is a little heavy but perfect time marks the passage from time dictated by the clock to the one dictated by our thoughts as the Ancient Greeks would say from the “Kronos” to the “Aion” she slightly raises her right leg she delicately slips her toes by caressing inside her shoe she stops her run on her own shoe that looks like a ramp, a sort of bridge at the end of the shoe itself the foot rises and forms a perfect arch on the right side of the image all these things I tried to translate into a drawing Feet n°1 Graphite and marker on panel 30x40cm 2018 Giuseppe Alletto
