About this work

You see two people in an art gallery, talking and gesturing. They're looking at a painting and seem to be discussing it. One person is pointing, the other is talking with their hands. This scene is interesting because it shows how people interact with art. The way they're talking and gesturing says a lot about how people think about art. Check out the technique: lithography.
