, interpret paintings in many different ways. They way they feel or the emotions that they are feeling can effect the way they view a paintings message. Le Sommeil is french for "sleep", which is the message the Dali is obviously trying to pass, but when I first saw this painting, unaware of its title, I felt depression. If you closely examine the face you can see that it looks like something is troubling it and it seems isolated. In the back round it appears to be a little town. I feel that the person that this face belongs to might be going through a depression and feels isolated be society. Even though it may have support systems it doesn't really help the mass depression it's feeling. Now maybe I feel this way about the painting because I too am going through somewhat of a depression. Like the face, I have many people that support me and try to help me through the rough times I've been having, but it doesn't fully cure the depression. The supportive people in my life sometimes may think that they understand what's going on and most of the time they do, but other times they don't. When they don't that's when depression starts to feel like isolation because there you are, upset and the people around you not understanding why you are upset. This usually makes the depression worse and you then start to slowly lose your supports. Some fall so deep into depression that they eventually give up. Luckily for me, that isn't the case. Just before I'm about to give up, something good happens and then I keep going.Now if I weren't in depression, I would probably feel that this painting is as it's titled "The Sleep". Looking at it, it does resemble sleeping. The face is resting on the supports in way that it looks like a sheet. If they painting was viewed this way, it would look sad as much as it would look peaceful and calming.
This painting is a GREAT example that paintings have meanings and that some have more than one meaning, you just have to look close.
your grammar and punctuation is really bad.
