Theme: Love

Analyze

There is a lot of dull color in the painting such as black and white and gray. There is one color that really pops and that is a reddish color in the wall and in her dress. There are a lot of geometric shapes in the background and some organic shapes in the people. There are diagonal lines in the cloth.

Describe

There are two figures, one a man and one a woman, who has cloths over their heads. The two people are dressed up. There is a wall in the back ground.

Interpret

I think the dark colors and the diagonal creases in the cloth show that the love is desperate. I think the reds in the painting show that there is true love. I also think that the cloth over their heads shows that love is blind and that you can't help who you fall in love with.
