George Rush : Darker with the Day : Interpret the artwork

     I feel like the meaning of the artwork is to show the change of shadows in the day and how some things change and some stay the same. The dark tones give more of a depressed theme to the series, but i can appreciate why Rush chose black and white. To me, black and white makes you focus in more on the concept of the paintings. it gives a mysterious feel. The series makes me wonder if this is supposed to be showing a part of somebody's life without the person actually in the series.

Questions:

Do you thing the painting would have more or less meaning if you put a living thing in it? Ex human, cat, dog?

Would color have effected the purpose of the series?

Why just 5 pieces? Why not more?
