Clowns and acrobats populate the world of art. The interest that writers and painters have in them is not neutral.
Clowns and acrobats become metaphors for the condition of the modern artist. As Jean Starobinski points out: The jester, the acrobat and the clown were the hyperbolic and deliberately distorting images that artists tended to give of themselves. This is a disguised self-portrait.
