Seated Couple

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to look at a painting called "Seated Couple." It was painted by an artist named Egon Schiele a long, long time ago, back in 1915! nn Can you count that high? That's over 100 years ago! nn This painting shows a man and a woman sitting very close together. See how their arms and legs are all mixed up? It's like they're giving each other a big hug! nn What colors do you see in the painting? nn You're right! The artist mostly used yellows, browns, and grays. These colors make the painting feel kind of serious, don't they? nn Now, look at the lines the artist used. Are they straight or wiggly? nn Yes, they're kind of wiggly and messy! That was Egon Schiele's special style. He liked to paint people in a way that showed their feelings, even if it wasn't always pretty. nn What do you think the man and woman in the painting are feeling? nn That's a great observation! Maybe they're feeling happy, or maybe they're feeling a little bit sad. We can't know for sure, but that's what makes art so interesting! It lets us use our imaginations! nn This painting is like a little window into the past. It shows us how people dressed and what was important to them back then. It also reminds us that even though times change, people still have the same feelings inside. nn Now, let's go look at some other amazing paintings! Who's ready for an adventure?
