Oehler, Bernice Olivia [Editor]: Figure sketching (London, 1927)

Emotion Shown by Action

Drama and the Dance

The body shows emotion as much as the
features, but we see the figure clothed so
much that we forget its expressiveness.

Emotion by action is shown very clearly in
the drama and the dance. The back may ex-
press as much as the face. A hand or foot may
show as much personality as the eyes or the
mouth.
