The freedom of movement of weightless beings in visual art of the modern era. Technical and formal means used in their expression
Abstract
The abundance of floating figures in art of the modern Era invites to study the movements of angels and deities. Their weightlessness marks these figures out from the figures subject to gravitational force that are depicted alongside them. Their movement is conveyed through the images and invented from sensory experience and imagination. The virtual expression of mobility in still images relies on technical and formal stylistic devices. in the case of the weightless human figure, such devices are directed at highlighting the particular features of their movement. independence from a supporting surface transforms the area in which weightless beings move into a limitless space; their independence from the pull of gravity means they can move around in a way that would be impossible in real life. For this reason, any visual device that suggests this condition will help to express their freedom to go wherever they wish.
