Children and Fish and Crab

Jung-Sup Lee

1950 25.8×19cm Oil on paper

First at all, in this work, you can see two people, two fish, a crab and a line.

The author use simple lines and a color to constitute a picture.

I think the two people in the picture should be kids, and they may be fishing because they have a thread wrapped around their hands. It’s also possible they’re playing with fish and crab.

I think the author used a line to connect all the objects in the paining and viewers can also clearly know what the author wants to express.
