n. 844 Fluid bodies

Nothing is more emblematic in art than reawakening a theme of mythological origin, and this small engraving expresses one of man's most frequent dreams: the ability to fly (recall Icarus's dream and the warnings not to fly too high). Here, human beings move without weight or difficulty, escaping the earth's pull and conveying a sense of freedom. Their nudity recalls the primordial state of every newborn, and in an imaginary context, that of a theater—there are spectators and lush vegetation visible in the galleries—the fluid bodies dance before us.
