Head floating in halo of light subtext is femme fatale, fear of sexuality, subversion: idea that sensuality is used to destroy male victims. 1893- symbolism with people like whistler and moreau takes on expressionistic tendencies: impessionist van gogh"s starry night. Wild sense of movement in the brushstrokes very much about what this artist saw van gogh doing.
