Anotations

Scope note:

Position of a figure standing at rest, with weight shifted on to one leg. The pose is balanced but asymmetrical, in which twisting or bending of the body's vertical axis results in hips, shoulders, and head turned or tipped in different directions. In western art it refers to the Greek concept of "antithesis," fundamental in Classical rhetoric as the pose considered most pleasing and convincing, the visual equivalent to words presented in direct opposition to one another.
