Thanks for highlighting that, Erica - I agree that it's true of everyone, rhythm and music being a means of releasing tension. I like the fluidity of movement depicted in Barnes's portraits (no surprise there, since he was an athlete) with the exaggerated length of limbs. It seems fitting that a Barnes painting would be chosen as the cover of a Marvin ***e album, since Marvin's voice had a similar supple, soaring quality. Another interesting comment by Barnes was that he painted his characters with their eyes closed "because of our blindness to one another's humanity":
