HODLER

Continued from Page 55

This is most clearly seen in a collage of seven figures, which, like the silhouettes of seven figures. In title, and more vaguely, in content, 'The Great Joys of Life' reminds one of Matisse's 'Joy of Living' - and has little connection otherwise. The linked figures of Matisse's dancers are in the midst of a movement, or a series of movements (not unlike a similar idea of Picasso's 'Bacchanale Before a Term of Pan') the movements that come from the gestures of the figures that come after. They are at the instant of pause. Hodler's seven figures who are in the midst of a movement, or a series of movements, are in the midst of a movement, or a series of movements, are in the midst of a movement, or a series of movements,
