 | Tattered clothes Ages of men Hill trapping them 
 | Communist Manifesto. Showing how you were stuck in your class. 
 | One of the first pieces in realism. 

 | Realism People are acting normal. Some are distracted. There’s a dog. All signs of the ordinary. 
 | Large canvas Oil Overlapping shape
 | Cross Color scheme (gray) Clothing. (Symbolic of funeral with black)

 | The ground: France is fertile Cows: it will be strong again.

 | It’s message is an awakening. She is in the moment of realizing she needs to change and repent. 

The Child’s Bath by Mary Cassatt  has a tender message to me. It emphasizes the importance of the relationships that mothers have with their children. It reminds me of those quiet moments with my own mom where I learned how to sew or bake or played a board game with her. The style is impressionist. The use of space is un-naturalistic with multiple points of view and a flatness to the piece. It shows the everyday life of a mother with her child, doing something seemingly unextraordinary. 

Subject matter is secondary to color and paint
