Man's Head in Woman's Hair
1896
It is unclear whether the woman is imagined by the man, or if the man's head floating in the woman's hair is a figment of her mind. Recalling the theosophical concept of thought-forms, the woman's brown and orange coloration, indicating selfishness and sensuality, is paired with the light green of the man, meaning sympathy. Perhaps she is thinking of him sympathetically, or he is recalling a woman he encountered. One figure conjures the image of the other, producing the image of the thought. |
