Story
The idea behind the work
The work speaks of keeping one’s own judgement and of the distance from public approval needed to think and act freely.
The meaning in the painting
A solitary figure looks from a high point towards the blurred figures in the distance. The distance between them suggests the clarity of a choice one stands by.
Craft
A finished work
Materials, frame and finish complete the identity of the work.
