The Frugal Repast (Le repas frugal)

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to look at a painting by a very famous artist named Pablo Picasso. It's called "The Frugal Repast." That means a very simple meal. Can you say "frugal?" nn --- nn Now, Picasso is known for all sorts of paintings, but this one is special. It's from a time when he used a lot of blue in his art. Do you ever feel a little sad sometimes? Picasso used blue to show those feelings of sadness in his paintings. nn --- nn Look closely at the painting. What do you see? There's a man and a woman, right? They look very serious, don't they? And they're sharing a very simple meal. What do you think they might be thinking about? nn --- nn Even though the painting is sad, it's also very beautiful. Picasso was trying to show us that even when times are tough, there's still beauty to be found in everyday life. He wanted us to think about people who might not have very much and how important it is to be kind and understanding. nn --- nn What do you think about the painting? It's okay to have different feelings about art! Sometimes, art makes us think, and sometimes, it makes us feel. That's what makes it so special!
