What
is the creature standing on?
Look carefully at the objects
that surround the beast's legs. Can you guess what these might
be? The beast stands
among rocklike forms that have been simplified so as to give
the impression of ragged peaks.
Can
you describe the relationship between the beast and the mountain
landscape?
Look carefully at the size
of his head and arms in comparison to his legs and feet. The
lower part of the creature's body is smaller in comparison to
his top half. The rocks also appear much smaller than his upper
body. In this way,
the artist made it look as though the beast is towering over
his surroundings and his face is reaching out toward you. Does
this make him seem more threatening?
