Lady Sowager

"Lady Sowager"

Artist:  Kevin Cornell

When first looking at the artwork I didn't seem to understand what he was trying to get across. All I noticed was a pig growing out from the ladies arms. When doing research I discovered that the point of the painting is to show how people tend to not compliment a person by resembleing them to a pig. (Even if she has a pig on her shoulders) Instead, people let her think she has a more beautifiul, attractive animail on her shoulders to her face, yet when you're away you can talk about the pig as much as you want.
