Further Analysis: Corpus Christi Parade

As we analyze the Corpus Christi image further we find unexpected things. We enlarge it. We pass through the crowd. We notice all heads turned towards the procession. All heads?—No! In the lower right corner we notice a man, his head turned as if to see the camera. He wears a bowler (in contrast with so many of his fellows) and his right arm is raised, cocked as if to strike a neighbor, or to raise a weapon against himself!
He takes his eyes from the religious spectacle—breaking not one, but two contracts. That between himself and the object of the parade (devotion! wonder!) and that between himself and the pictorial plane.
Further Analysed!
