Somebody Has To Say It

Today I fancy myself and art interpreter. This painting was another masterpiece in the collection of "Bad Painting, Good Art". Lovely.

(serious voice) This painting could been seen in a number of lights. Perhaps the broken body(?) represents the way the girl feels inside. Perhaps the girl is crying because a vicious animal devoured part of her sister. Perhaps, midway through the painting, the artist got fired and dismembered the second child.

The broken body appears not to be hollow on the inside, ruling out the idea that it was a doll, possibly massacred by a older brother, or dog. Just FYI.

I think that the girl, Irving, is not crying for the body/doll/unidentifiable object, but because she embarrassed to be wearing such an ugly dress, which is way too short, exposing her horribly pale legs, probably picked out by her mother or blind aunt, who are currently trying to persuade her to smile for the family photo. She also cries because they gave her such a horrible name. Irving. Ugh. The object behind the girl is actually not a body at all, but the grandma's dog's chew toy. Totally unimportant. And there you have it, another painting, completely analyzed. Let me know if you disagree, though I don't see how you could. My logic is absolutely sound. Absolutely.
