In our discussion of July by Larry Rivers, we spoke about what we saw in terms of the bicycle, the house, the figures, the temperature which seems to be scalding, hence the undefined lines of the artist and the summer daze the family (or what appears to be a family) seems to be in due to the heat. We did not pay much attention to the historical significance due to the fact that we were not familiar with the artist’s background/style so we could not bring that aspect into our discussion. However, I believe we did shed light on the aesthetics of the painting thoroughly and also delved into discussion on how the colors of the painting contrasted with summer. The artist uses mostly cool and calm colors such as greens and blues and uses these colors to paint an illustration that depicts warmth (Summer).
