"Young Life" By Bo Barlett

My three claims for this painting are the following: the man and women are in an intimate relationship, the small stick resembles the boy's oppinion towards th enviroment, and the son is different than his father. We can conclude that their in a relationship because they are in a very strong embrace, the stick represents his view on the enviroment, because he is supporting the stick up, we can assume he supports an enviromentalist view, and because he is seperated from his father and because they have different clothing, we can assume they are different in many ways.

Academic voice: In Bo Barlett's painting " Young Life", we can conclude that the father and son are two extremely different people. You can percieve this true, .by their contrast in clothing, and their physical seperation. The father is portrayed  in very relaxed clothing with an unbutton shirt and backwards hat on, whereas the child is in proper clothing, including a collared shirt with a sweater over top of it. Also in the painting there is a huge seperation between these two people, with the child's back to the man. Because of their different opinions in style and their lack of interest in eachother, we can assume that these two people vary in many ways.
