These four women create their own juxtaposition by pairing off and facing each other in conversation. I contrast those we can see with those we cannot. The viewer is left to fill in the details of the two abstracted women who face away from us. The women who face us seem much more animated. They are talking simultaneously, while the two listeners patiently absorb whatever may be going down here. I was struck by the uniformity of dress. It is almost as if all of them are in costume – two of them wear slacks, two wear skirts and all wear black. Two are blondes, two brunets, and all carry purses. The two who speak wear sandals; the two who listen wear shoes. Both of the speakers use their arms as they speak to express feelings, while the two who listen use passive body language. Juxtapositions are essentially a way of comparing and contrasting. There is much here to both compare and contrast.
