Contrary to an objectified depiction of feminine bodies as seen in the works of Alphonse Mucha and Felicien Rops, the nude portrait “No Symbol” stresses the individuality and autonomy of the portrayed woman through an Interaction with the audience via gaze and gesture. Confidence in spite of an uncanny surreal environment is expressed, the floating sword symbolizing the ability to wield power.
