The window pane of the revolution's people explains the simile used in the panel beforehand, this is when Marjane explains that "the revolution is like a bicycle. When the wheels don't turn, it falls." (Satrapi, 10) Only the following image shows people (possible patriots, soldiers, matyrs) from the revolution, and obvious disfunction (as a result of all the dead). The wheels are also drawn in a way that it is not 3D nor 2D, but that the bike is laying down. This can represent the wheels not turning properly, as a result of image perception of preportion. The spokes connecting the quintupcycle also look vaguely like hands. These hands represent how the people are holding 'society' during the revolution together.
was brought up because of Pablo Picasso's use of 3D dimensions on a 2D canvas, with images almost sticking out on a flat surface.
This also connected to our in class discussion with Ms. Brownwrigg. She brought to our attention the concept of Panel Transitions. When we learned bout 'Aspect to Aspect' transitions, the idea of looking at one image from different angles brought up this painting again.
Megan actually was the one who brought to my attention the text that refered to the bicycle in the first place. Actually, when I was scanning the pages for more snippets, I was just technically interested in the photo rather than the text, and didn't even notice the text reference until after she pointed it out.
It will be interesting to see the other snippets that come to class next week...
:D
