1. Very few individuals are willing to lower their own standard of living to raise that of another. The lack of readily available means of education also allows poverty to persist. The fact that all societies have and will always be dominated by an upper crust.
2. The artist looks negatively at poverty. The people in his painting appear sad and hopeless while their faces seem gaunt. This shows that poverty is a bad thing.
3. I think the artist is trying to convey the fact that more often then not poverty is passed from one generation to the next. He is trying to show that it is difficult to rise above and is something that runs in the family.
4. The color the artist uses to paint the woman and boy are cool, dark colors. It gives an air of hopelessness and depression about them. In contrast the girl is wearing white and carrying bright yellow flowers. The presence of this brightness shows the glimmer of hope this girl has. It highlights the means she has to rise above.
