Kara Walker, this silhouette i love because of the way it challenge u (the viewer) to interpret the artist reason r story line. even tho the relationship is some what disconnection (to me) in terms of the paintings & characters it is still connected as a hole piece, by color & the movement of children.
the repetition of children n the piece give me the idea of child hood days or a sense of community atmosphere. also use of color black &white supports the piece very well in giving a strong message. the size of Kara piece also works well with capturing the audience & channeling a person thought to relate to it.
for me the center panel of the painting give me a sense of direction of the movement of the silhouette but then can almost be contradicted in the last panel where there's a footpath moving in a opposite direction.
