The film's visuals, from the colors that flash over Dave Bowman's helmet to the Rococo bedroom he somehow finds himself in to the star child floating above the earth, are connected to 1960s drug culture, admittedly.

But for those of us not getting high on a recreational basis, they still demand us to think about what we know and expect and how these images overwhelm and astonish us.

While Piranesi championed the art of Rome, he was not indifferent to the charms of Greek art, nor to that of the Egyptians, as evident from his fanciful designs for an Egyptian fireplace or his decorative scheme for the walls of the Café de la Iglesia that I just told you about, the British café located at the Piazza d'Espagna.
Tru LudwigGUEST
In his preface to the diverse manners of adornment in rooms, which includes both of these etched plates along with designs of the Etruscan and Greek, Roman, and even Rococo styles, Piranesi argued for the complete freedom of the architect or designer to draw on models from every time and place as an inspiration for his own inventions.
Tru LudwigGUEST
Piranesi's etchings of his eclectic mantelpiece and furniture designs circulated throughout Europe, influencing decorative trends and even functioned as a sales catalog to advertise the object he fashioned from ancient remains.
Tru LudwigGUEST
That's some power.
L.G. WilliamsNARRATOR
Unlocking the expansive artistry of Fragonard's radical imagination.
L.G. WilliamsNARRATOR
An excerpt from an essay and critique by L.G. Williams, reconsidering Jean Honoré Fragonard's celebrated 18th century painting, The Swing, not simply as an erotic Rococo fantasy, but as an extraordinarily sophisticated construction about voyeurism, female anatomy, concealment, and the act of looking itself.
L.G. WilliamsNARRATOR
Originally published November 31st, 2009.
L.G. WilliamsNARRATOR
Jean-Honoré Fragonard was one of the great painters of 18th century France and one of the artists most closely associated with the sensuality, theatricality, and visual exuberance of the Rococo.
L.G. WilliamsNARRATOR
Trained in the circles of Jean-Simeon Chardin and François Boucher and winner of the Prix de Rome, Fragonard eventually turned away from the conventional public career of an academic history painter toward highly sophisticated pictures made largely for private patrons.
L.G. WilliamsNARRATOR
Painted around 1767, The Swing became his most famous work.

In interviews, Kubrick seemed happy to have audiences build their own interpretations, whether these were hopeful or nihilistic, and admits that when the film's last 30 minutes are devoid of any dialogue, you pretty much lose control of definitive interpretation.
