What's going on in this picture?
What do you see that makes you say that?
What more can you find?

  1. # What's going on in this picture?
    there is a man looking at a painting. he seems very interested in it.
    # What do you see that makes you say that?
    i see a man in a suit, a painting directly in front of him, and the painting is hanging on a wall.
    # What more can you find?
    The painting seems to be abstract. possibly a pollack. I think he is in a museum. and the fact that the man is concentrating on the the painting makes me think that he likes it or is at least in a setting where there are multiple paintings in one place.

  2. There is a man looking at a picture which appears to have been made by Pollock. I think the name of this piece really changes what the piece says. At first I looked at it, thinking "this man probably doesn't understand Pollock," as most people do not, however, once you find the name "the connoisseur," you understand that this man is probably really well education about Pollock. This changed the piece for me, and I enjoy pieces whos meanings change once you hear the title.
