1) What is the social issue and what is the artist's viewpoint? What do you see in the work that supports the viewpoint? 2) As you observe the piece, what emotions are provoked? What artistic elements does the artist use to provoke the viewer's emotion?

The social issue in this picture is maybe depression or maybe death and dying. Well I believe that the baby is death or maybe is dying. The people seem very depressed. the one reason why i feel like the baby must have died is because the mother maybe is holding her head. I believe shes grieving. It could as be depression because the three other people look very depressed. The emotion that are provoked are sadness and maybe anger. I can see anger in her hands. She seems very tense. The elements that the artist use to bring out emotions is the lady holding her head, and the others is that the baby looks like it maybe have died.
