During our conversation at the museum, we started with formal analysis, discussing the diagonal in the painting, as well as the brushstrokes, color scheme, and tone. We then analyzed the content of the painting, noting the relationship between the man in the painting (the focus) and the children, who were likely his. We then discussed the historical period in which the painting was created, which was Soviet Russia. It was celebrating May 9th, which was the Soviet release from Nazi Germany.
