I noticed paintings with vibrant colors really captured my attention. I also noticed paintings with animals did the same thing. Thus, I stared at this painting of animals in vibrant colors for a very, very long time.
I instantly thought of Noah's Ark when I saw this. The middle aged man next to be seemed to have felt the same way. He introduced himself as Steve, a frequenter of this museum among many in the area. I told him I was here for my arts philosophy class and would appreciate some insight.
He told me he thinks from an artist's perspective when viewing art. He saw this as a painter who was fascinated by animals - and maybe intended to paint this picture to display the beauty of these animals and the beauty of the story we know of as Noah's Ark.
