By isolating a fragment of the body and removing it from the original unity of the figure, the artist introduces a silent but decisive shift: a refined differentiation between drapery and flesh. The drapery appears rough, irregular, vibrant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1184\" data-end=\"1398\"\u003eThe skin is smooth, luminous, ideal.

It approaches Adorno, who recognizes that modern art, deprived of totality, must speak through fracture, limit, incompleteness.
