That was it's intention. But it's only only a commonplace to note that " when certain cues are present in a image they (i.e. all viewers) fill in the missing information" While Saul's response does not address the recognition of a "central organizing effect" --- which some viewers (like you, I, and Duve) find in 'The Bar at the Folies Bergere" , others (like Mando) apparently do not, and still others (like Saul and William) may find, but consider that issue to be highly subjective, and just one discourse among many that may be conducted concerning any painting. ---------- Original Message ---------- ...............................
