Date of Work: In the year of 1971
Description: There are a bunch of stick like rods lots of swirls in the sticks, triangles also statues a tower with smoke rising from it a flag shadows an unknown shadow in the right side diffrent colors but there all somewhat dark.
Analysis:The balence is great the diffrent colors are what i think makes it intresting. The shadows also make the picture intresting especially the one that have no explanation of the shadow. Everything is fit in a nice and not a mess.
Interpretation:It looks to me like there are just two men meeting up discussing something but in secret but someone is watching them from a distant.
Judgment: It looks weird to me and sad because of all the dark colors it has that mystery feeling because you dont know whos shadow is there or not.
