Description: Blue -Tranquility, Orange/Brown - Earth, Green - Fertility, Purple - Tranquility. I see a man and his wife, both blue. There's a small tree in the center. They consist of all the previously stated colors. A bird is at the edge of the tree. There is also a man in the middle of the trees. He appears to be old and he is holding an object in his hands. It appears that the purple in the tree are grapes?
Analysis: The elements of art that i think are most prominent in this artwork are color, shape and unity. There are only bright colors in this artwork. The artwork wants to instill happiness. While all the colors stand out brilliantly it seems like they just seem to blend in together. The obscure shapes of the people in the artwork make it seem unrealistic.
Interpretation: The people are probably blue because they are calm and happy. The man appears to be smiling. Grapes are supposed to symbolize luck and the green to me symbolizes fertility. Maybe he has been trying to impregnate the girl and finally succeded.? I think this could also explain why the dove to the left is green.
Judgement: This painting isnt really my style but i see the hardwork that was put into it. It uses colors marvelously while instilling a sense of happiness and peace. I could see it hanging in a museum somewhere but i dont really like it. A great painting nonetheless
I agree with you Mrs. Specht about the green possible meaning fertility in this picture. I noticed that only the man in the photo has green on his face. I work for an ob/gyn and often one partner will have fertility problems. It seems to me that the man is the fertile one. The woman seems to have a look of relief on her face but still there is some apprehension in her expression. It is almost like she is trying not to get too excited in case there is a bad pregnancy. This picture really isn't my style either. I do believe it takes a lot of creativity and thought to do artwork like this.
