created themselves from within Explanation: Hi Katie! This is a bit of an interpretive translation. I'm just trying to give you ideas: Clare Chevrier approaches the movement of labourers just as specifically in other images in the series Il fait jour. The workers and technicians are not captured at an instant in their movements but rather, in a sense, the movements are distilled, as if to say the movements were derived from within the painting. OR "the movements *created themselves from within*. I took your translation and made a few additional changes. So pay close attention. You may or may not like the changes. My translation is less direct than yours. Best regards, Patrick |
