I think I have to paint this. Just from a compositional perspective, it's got good bones. Got a scale contrast between Flavio and phone guy, and the floor tiles draw your eyes to Bolsonaro with his shoulders slumping and arms dangling, suffering an existential moment staring at some floss.

The average political cartoon artist fucking wishes they could achieve this kind of compositional lineup

I would give anything for interviews with musicians to involve structural/compositional explication like this but the replies to the post show you why it’s no use
It’s 1970 and ELTON JOHN takes out a crumpled piece of paper and plays “Tiny Dancer” for the first time in front of his lyricist BERNIE TAUPIN and Taupin’s wife Maxine (for whom Taupin wrote the song).

And the very rough sketch that started this! This is by no means a final, but rather a place to start considering staging and compositional arrangement.

Excellent sense of scale and compositional harmony in that ballroom design.

That's great! There's a bit of a Zappa feel to this, in his more compositional mode.

So here’s some of what I see when I take a photograph. This photo is quite basic but composed as if composing a painting. It’s not a stunt photo taken by someone carrying bags of equipment and I’ve made sure it carries no symbolism, it’s purely a compositional excercise.

Polarization <increases> even as the Democratic caucus <moderates> due to compositional effects. Again, it's not two sides/parties moving to greater extremes & the problem is not polarization. It's the far right authoritarianism.
The incoming Democrats are slightly less progressive than the members leaving. This is a compositional effect. It reflects who won primaries in the competitive and red-leaning districts the wave swept into the majority.

Wait now make it compositional. If you put your account inside pdsls, clicking on it takes you to the pdsls view of the account, and visa versa. This isnt a good idea I just like it

Paragraph means "writing alongside itself," which is an interesting perspective on the constitutive status of compositional form

Happening at 1pm at #ieeevis - @sheng-long.bsky.social presents our first step towards a compositional theory of visualization perception. I think this work offers a better way of doing empirical vis, where we use studies to refine precisely-specified theory instead of running chart type horse races

It's Fanny Mendelssohn's 221st birthday today! A compositional and piano prodigy, she was kept by her family from publishing until the year before her death, but in the years since we have rediscovered this treasure trove of songs and chamber music. #WomenInMusic #MusicHistory #WomensHistory 🎵

This woodblock print, designed circa 1827–1830, is the absolute breakout masterpiece that launched the career of the legendary late-Edo ukiyo-e giant Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798–1861).

the thing that really separates technically good but otherwise fine art from the truly arresting stuff is how much they remember they're making a comic and also hone their compositional skills imo

To my admittedly naive ear, I can easily spot Queen (compositional style & Mercury's voice), Kansas (style & violin), and Talking Heads (Byrne's voice).

Kandinsky's 'Blue Circle' exemplifies Bauhaus-era geometric abstraction, balancing a dominant blue sphere against dynamic angular forms with masterful compositional tension.

Low golden light turns shadows into powerful compositional tools. That long shadow stretching down the cliff gives the ridge incredible depth and scale. Look for strong light angles to make your subject stand out. #phototips
