Thoughts on The Musicale by Stacy Tolman

by: John Park (for video)


The group mainly discussed various objects and expressions that they noticed in the painting. They also discussed how the people were portrayed and the atmosphere that the painting gave off. This is what could be called formal analysis, and I wish they had wondered more about the curation of the piece and how it was presented. They did a very good job illuminating interesting aspects of the painting though. There could’ve been more discussion about the story behind the painting – who were the people, and why were they there? Was nearby artwork similar to this painting? If they looked longer, perhaps these questions would’ve been addressed.
