One of the first characteristics that we notice when we see the paint is the deformation of the portraited woman, that causes certain curiosity on those that appreciate the artwork.
Some says that “the idiot” is Anita's own self portrait, others that portrays the psychological state of the model, but we arrived at the conclusion that in truth it may represent Anita's own questions.
Dealing with an active search moment, we can say that she wanted to bring to her work, things that arouse the curiosity and imagination of the public.
The woman's lost eyes, her divided hair, her expressionless mouth, Anita's colors choice, all that, brings to the public interesting questions: Who is the figure? Where is she looking at? What is she thinking? Why she painted the idiot? Why she gave that title?, none of those questions have a definitive answer, what brings to the picture a touch of mystery too.
The portrait is really intrigant and critic, we think that the work is well done and portrays Anita's feeling in relation to the critics received by the brazilian 's society.
thank you !
