Comments
: Gauvreau began experiencing health problems, long stays in the hospital, and even the amputation of a leg a couple of years before his death from a heart attack; but he displayed almost legendary courage and he continued to produce major works of art until very close to his death in 2011.
Humanities Question: Noticing the date of this work, and keeping in mind compositional features, analyze this painting.
