the rhythm of which the palette knife has drawn... Explanation: This is a suggestion, because "Messer" is really the most intringuing part here. Since we don't know who it is or what the style concerned is, I'm simply assuming this refers to a certain rhythmic manipulation of a palette knife. |

(rhythm) cuts like a knife Explanation: I don't think this is referring to the painting technique itself-you need to find a good image that conveys the dynamic(?) style of this particular painter, correct? You may find another expression that reflects his method/approach/effect without resorting to *knifes*, but I am just offering a few *cutting*examples here: Musical context: to quote Bryan Adams (complete text @www.ohp.ch/Songs/Cuts_like_a_knife.htm) or, in a literary context: The Wind that blows between the worlds, it cut him like a knife, And Tomlinson took up his tale and spoke of his good ... www.everypoet.com/archive/poetry/Rudyard_Kipling/kipling_to... or in the context of painting: My search for an individual expressive mode took me through different phases and stylistic ranges. I experimented with color-schemes and chaotic forms, incisive lines that cut a surface like a knife and space that creates an emptiness that is similar a void that life sometimes offer. My work records my responses to the varied demands of life. www.designers-den.com/mahmudul_haque.htm - 1 Good luck! given above |

a clean-cut rythm, as if drawn with a knife Explanation: a special technique comes to mind first, but the blade of a pallet knife is very thin and flexible while painters also use ordinary knifes (plain or saw) to apply oil or acrylic paints. The effect is very different. The comparison with Jazz makes me think of emphasizing every individual colour/instrument, using them in a combination that makes them complement each other. So, the result would not be a 'Brei' of colours/instruments but rather a clean-cut rythm? Good luck! :-)) paint a little |

adding context Explanation: I believe all you have to do to add information to the ongoing "discussion" is simply post an answer to your own question. This has been done by many of us before and is a quick way to make sure the information you feel will be more helpful gets to the people who are trying to help. (unless Proz has eliminated that option in the meantime, and I'm not aware of it :-)) |
