i had to check "sophisticated" and "understatement" in the dictionary, but i still don't understand :/
anyway, thanks
By sophisticated understatement, I mean that it is an elegant ( sophisticated) image with just enough information to make its point. Not too much, not too little, just right!
Something that is understated is something where the artist is careful not to exaggerate. It's the opposite of heavyhanded, or clumsy.
