Sarah Hermanson Meister (2007) Picturing New York: Photographs from the Museum of Modern Art
Is she a femme fetal? I am interested in the dichotomy of this composition because the action is seemingly hideous in a formal setting. What is supposedly a civil and glamorous bourgeois ball is subverted by the simplicity of letting go and exposing oneself. In this context the woman is experiencing extreme elation though she appears vicious and monster-like, gnashing teeth and sharp nails, she looks dangerous her expression could be hiss or a laugh?
Grandiose
