No don't get me wrong, I just want to know for sure that we're talking about the same thing. I know sometimes my comments can seem a bit harsh but I just phrase objections that come into my mind.
So you are saying that the poses are almost like decorative elements? Kind of like when I call the nymphs mannequins?
Only, as you correctly paraphrase, I do think that the pose contributes to the message - it just tells a different part of the story than the object.
Would you say then that, if this is an enema, the meaning of this drawing is to illustrate a paragraph about its health benefits, for example, while the human figure is more of a "base" for holding the object in question?
