From the Painting Guide: A multiple-choice critique seems appropriate:
A. This painting is curiously impersonal, the stylisation of the figures has removed most of their identity.
B. Although this could be an aspect of the scan/photo, the colours are rather muted for something which could so easily be showing passion.
C. The juxtaposition of the number five with the Mondrian-style clothing has created a painting which looks like the view of an audience in a circus tent. Such an unusual setting makes the viewer wonder even more at the story behind the painting.
