As an artist who enjoys the relationship of language to the visual arts, I appreciated this segment, even given its brevity. To my mind it is not academic elitism, but the natural extension of vocabulary that evolves within an inner culture, in this case highlighting a terminology from the German school. Thank you!
It took me 40 years and your post to understand, but now I know why one of my SUNY Buffalo art professors, Harvey Breverman, was obsessed with drawing people from the back. Thanks for that.
Hi James, I sketch and paint strangers looking away from the viewer (or voyeur!? in my case). I didn’t know there was a name for this particular genre. Thank you for sharing!
WOOW! That's a PAINTING??! I thought it was a photograph of availability rather skinny man squatting/kneeling on the ground. Holy cow, that's amazing!! 😃🤯😍😍

How funny - I just saw this painting at the Farnsworth. It's really rather Rockwell-esque. I think the figure is probably female - could it be Betsy?
