The kinds of analysis that were did focused on the cultural and historical context around the painting, as well as the artist's intent. We discussed perversion of the girl, the cultural concepts of what it meant to be in the 1920s regarding jazz and even race relations. We also discussed the contrast in the colors, white the bright reds, yellows, and blues, in comparison with the dark and grey colors. Additionally we paid attention to the clothing worn by the subjects in the paintings, looking at their patterns and what we thought the materials used to create it were. The author's intent was also heavily questioned, from whether the painting has racial implications, or was more focused on the music and aesthetic progress of the times. Although, we pretty much analyzed it from top to bottom, we did not spend time on the possible political implications of that time.
