Description
-
A stone pillar and arch is on a solid brown and green background, in front of which are two abstract and stylized figures. The first figure in front of the arch is a man in a red and grey shirt with frilled cuffs and a black vest. He also wears brown boots with spurs. He appears to be waving a white handkerchief above his head. In front of the man is the second figure, a woman wearing a tan brimmed hat with a black ribbon around its crown. This hat obscures the woman’s face from view. She wears a blue dress with translucent frilled cuffs and a yellow sash that has a hanging skirt. The style of the art is highly abstract, with the proportioning of the figures resembling Pablo Picasso’s expressionist style. This is especially evident in the only visible face, that of the man behind the woman. The soft and warm colors used in the piece evokes feelings of welcoming warmth, while the striking designs of the clothing create a sense of unique and foreign culture, further supported by the expressionist style.
