Children are not usually seen as having keen, critical perception that can be of deep use to us. This young person is evidently displeased, and I tried to show his dignity through composition. For example, by cropping out the person he is looking at, his displeasure becomes more impersonal, harder to sum up and dismiss. The deepest desire of every person, every child, I learned from the Aesthetic Realism of Eli Siegel, is to like the world on an honest basis, which includes trying to be an accurate critic of it. |
