There was a lot of focus initially on the formal aspects of the painting, such as how the subjects and objects are arranged. While the people in the painting are all Western, the features of the room appear to be Asian in origin, which sparked an interesting contrast. Questions arose as to what kind of music they were playing, and why the artist chose such a setting for these people. We didn’t pay that much attention to the choice of colors or the style of which this piece was created, which would have been really interesting to tie together why things are the way they are. Overall, we think it was an interesting talk, and could have spent more time with this piece if we could have afforded it.
