We basically analyzed the physical aspects of the painting in our recording. We were very interested in the materials used to create this painting. We also referred to the historical context that this piece was meant to represent. We felt that the idea of Manifest Destiny greatly impacted the artist, and that it was meant to represent many different ideas, particularly those of people whose homes were destroyed.
We didn’t really discuss the use of technique because we were so perplexed by this work of art that we didn’t think of it as a painting, but rather a sculpture. It was most definitely a challenge trying to figure out what this painting represented, and we feel that if we had more time we would have liked to discuss the composition of the piece.
