In listening to our recording, we realized that we did not compare and contrast light and dark images in the painting, and for the most part we did not analyze the medium of the work. Although we spoke abundantly about the historical/ political context of the painting, we failed to explore the more diverse events that we happening in the world at the same time, economically and socially. If we had more time, we would have analyzed the darkness of the sky versus the light clothing that the invading colonizers were wearing. There’s also a smokestack standing in the background, most likely adding to the darkness of the sky and the plight of the colonized.
