Giving "Folies Bergere" another look, only one pair of receding parallel lines can be found (from the two brown bottles to the left of her hand), from which a vanishing point can be located on an horizon line at the level of Suzon's eyes.
(a rather obvious place to have it, placing the viewer at eye level with the subject) William suggests that if a square box were drawn around the fruit bowl, it's receding lines would establish a lower horizon line, but there are at least two ways such a box may be drawn since there is some ambivalence concerning whether you are viewing that box from the left (if you are directly facing Suzon), or from the right (if you are the man reflected in the mirror) So that horizon line is an invention of William. And what about all those "implicit vanishing points" that he claims to find? Since William is so concerned with authoritative literature, where is the literature on "implicit vanishing points" ? Who is the recognized expert on this arcane notion and where has it been defined and explained? Is it William, himself? How can an "implicit vanishing point" be distinguished from the convergence of any other pair of lines that might be found on the canvas? I'm just wondering where all this technical sounding talk is really any less subjective than my observation that Suzon looks bored. ____________________________________________________________ Weight Loss Program Best Weight Loss Program - Click Here! http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2231/c?cp=fTOxEYZgYroak4mbLRSIUwAAJz6c l_zTaptgNR5c8Mer1v9kAAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEUgAAAAA=
