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. |
