|
… absolutely marvellous |
|
|
|
Anthony: |
|
Yes, quite extraordinary. |
|
|
|
Abigail: |
|
Right, so what have we here? |
|
|
|
Anthony: |
|
What do you think? |
|
|
|
Abigail: |
|
It’s very powerful, isn’t it? Look at the power of this colour across the middle of the painting. To me, that’s a symbol … |
|
|
|
Anthony: |
|
An extremely powerful symbol. I … |
|
|
|
Abigail: |
|
Hold on. Let me finish! To me that’s a symbol of progress. |
|
|
|
Anthony: |
|
I’m sorry, I’m not sure what you mean… |
|
|
|
Abigail: |
|
Let me put it another way. This picture is all about moving from the present to the future. From what we know to what we don’t know… |
|
|
|
Anthony: |
|
That’s true but the most interesting thing about this picture is the strong, green colour. In my opinion, this picture is about hope and optimism. What do you think, William? |
|
|
|
William: |
|
I’m sorry, I didn’t get that. Could you say it again? |
|
|
|
Anthony: |
|
I was saying to me this picture symbolises hope and optimism. Do you see what I mean? |
|
|
|
Abigail: |
|
Why don’t you tell us your opinion, William? |
|
|
|
William: |
|
Well, I definitely agree that this picture is trying to tell us something. I think it’s showing us where the exit is. |
