Archive Eye Test

This is a re-creation of a photo dated Christmas 1929
to Mr. Pilates and Mlle. Clara
signed by a dance couple Mary and Roy.
(last names unintelligble)
It supposedly hung on a wall in Joe's studio
at his Becket, Massachusetts house.

I think it is an impressive image and worthy of sharing
to show what kind of art Joe liked to put on his walls.

In trying to decide which image was worth making
available in a larger print it became an eye test for me
that I wanted to share with you.
So, which image would you pick and why?

Even though I like Kipling's smile on the left
I chose the image on the right.
I chose it because Kipling's torso is straighter,
and her arms are unadorned.
Her hands and Gillis' left hand look better as well.
Also, I like Kipling's feet better on the right than the left.
They are very close, but that's why I picked the one on the right
to make available as a blown up poster.
You can order one here.
