"It's a painting about the joyous rhythm of life. Think Willie Nelson and the Texas two step. The musicians are playing, the townspeople enter into the dance released from their daily chores, large and full. There is food and drink. Throughout there is a sexual intensity, see the woman drawing the man into the house with the red banner and the kissing couple."
"It is elegantly inelegant," he finished.
