2年前(11/19/2012) にダンスを形容する表現 "Their movements are as spare and angular ..." で "angular" が使われていて、その時は "spare" の意味だけを調べ、 "angular" は特に辞書で確認はしませんでしたがOctober 27のThe Japan Timesに掲載されていた写真(http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/10/26/national/the-kimono-as-an-evolving-art-form-mets-exhibit-in-nyc-traces-rich-history/#.VE7WL5Vxkic)に次の説明がありました。
A ripped, angular kimono by Yohji Yamamoto is part of a current exhibit at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
その写真を見ても着物のようには見えず、ただこの "angular" の意味が気になり辞書を見ます。
・Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary: having little flesh so that the shapes of your bones can be seen : thin and bony: She's a tall, angular girl.
・Macmillan Dictionary:an angular part of your body is not covered by much flesh so that you can see the shape of the bones: a tall man with an angular face
改めて写真を見ると、薄い服で "rips" から腕などの肌が見えていました。
・Vocabulary.com: Whether it’s a face with strikingly lean bone structure, a tall rectangular building, or a something written in Arabic script, anything that is characterized by sharp angles can be described as angular.
The word angular describes objects that have sharp angles, such as something with many corners and few soft curves. You’ll also hear it used to describe a person’s face or body. A tall, thin person with prominent bones can be described as angular. The word can be used figuratively to describe movements that are jerky and not smooth, such as the angular dance moves that go with a fast rock song.
