Barbra Streisand expressed her choice to share a time of tranquility through a not-so-simple but nevertheless striking post. Besides being very photogenic, the image carried the title, ‘A watery upside down image I took in my pool.’ The silence with which the icon has communicated has opened up the opportunity to the calm and beauty that the star has created around her home.
The picture instantly and very positively responded to the audience. The public was grateful to their favorite star for the intimate artistic moment she had shared. User’s comment: ‘Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your artistry with us,’ drew attention to the fact that Streisand’s artistry is not confined to singing and acting only. The feeling of gratitude was a common thread running through the comments.
Next user was of the same opinion and he or she thought that the beauty of the picture was actually the artist’s own, ‘A reflection of beauty only true artists can recognize. ❤️ .playing your Broadway album earlier today..’ This comment connected very well the artist’s visual with her legendary musical contributions.
The inventiveness of the photo’s artistic approach lead some of the viewers to daydream while interpreting it. One user came up with a fun analogy stating, ‘It looks like a double burger with flowers! Beautiful 🤩.’ This funny viewpoint illustrates how differently art can be interpreted and how it can bring about unexpected joy. Another user took the same fun analogy to food and said, ‘Looks good enough to eat. A floral hamburger.’
For some of the viewers the image brought to mind Streisand’s earlier concerts. Commenter connected her music directly writing, ‘So beautiful Barbra, reminds of the photos in the Wet album! ❤️.’ Reference to her 1979 album points to the long-term impact of her artistic endeavors and the deep involvement of the fans with her entire creative proces.
The peacefulness conveyed in the photography was a major topic of the talk. A user who took a very personal stance said: ‘Love this peaceful image. Today I woke up feeling peace and hope in my heart again. Thank you for this beautiful photo Barbra ❤️.’ This is an example of a public figure’s simple image actually influencing someone’s mood and providing comfort.
Another, noticing a flawlessness of the scene, said, ‘and, of course, it’s perfect! 😍 Everything is so perfectly aligned.’ This indirectly suggests the strict design and balance usually associated with Streisand’s personal style.
The post gave rise to curiosity regarding Streisand’s taste and residence. A user elaborated, ‘Oh, how I would love to see your property in person one day. You have impeccable taste. I loved your book My Passion for Design, but it would be an incredible experience watching it live. You can’t smell your garden in a book or see the water wheel turn.’ This reference to her 2010 design book solidifies her long-established reputation of an aesthetic connoisseur beyond the stage and on screen. The post also reminded fans of her White House Rose Garden legacy.
Another user, however, presented a philosophical perspective when he/she said, ‘As above, so below. Beauuutiful, graceful balance ❤️’. The commenter is contemplating the symmetry and the meditative quality of the photograph, and at the same time, sensing a deeper, for some even spiritual, harmony in the image.
