The sky is
brightish
The grass takes up a lot of the scenery
There is a hole on the tree
The tree has red stuff on it
The brighter hog up front got its tongue out Slide3Slide4
QuestionsWhy are the hogs doing that what do they gain from that small and skinny and insignificant snake there’s 5 hogs and one small snake
whats
the deal?
Is the snake dangerous?
Are these hogs wild?
Are those apples on the tree or something else?
Is there a pretentious metaphor behind this or is this just some wholesome hog on snake action?
Are they fighting over the snake?
Are they killing the snake just for
funzies
?
The hog with its tongue out looks like it wants to duke it out, is that the hogs intention?
Are hogs huge or is that tree just short?
Did someone pay money for this or was the artist just like ‘

I have a great idea for an art’?Slide5
Artist Background

Steuart
Curry
1897-1946
Known for painting life on Kansas, his home state
Thinks Bulls are
swoleSlide6
Artist BG contIllustrated for magazines and children's books\
Studied in Kansas City, Chicago, and Paris
Regionalist style of art (art movement in America from the 1920’s to the 1950’s)
Died at 49 due to a heart attack
How many more hog gang paintings did our sweet angel never get to finish…. We will never know…. Slide7
Conclusion JSC was a cool dude, he liked farm animals and those are pretty cool
imo
.
He died young… just like
Ke$ha
had suggested
He did live a comfortable life though, he was able to make a living doing this thing he loved
He always remembered his roots, a real down home guy, just like
Dorthy
!
But most importantly, he leaves me with no choice but to believe that in Kansas, hogs are always getting together just to kill snakes. Slide8
