Art Critique1

Many people compare the work of Emile Munier to his teacher William A Bouguereau. William taught him the "porcelain-like features" which appear in Emile's painting now. Emile's main subjects were landscape and portraits. Much of this French artists work can be found in the Parisian Salons and one paing recieved an honorable mention. It's not said exactly where you find Emile's paintings, but the majority are in the United States and Europe.
This oil painting "Pardon Mama" has warm tones which in a way creates a sense of love, a sense of bonding between the two. It also creates caring which the mother has for her child. The main focus is on the mother holding the daughter. The contrast between the background and foreground is clear and makes the mother and daughter stand out even more.
The mother was just sitting down, relaxing from her day when her daughter runs to her. The mother tells the daughter not to worry, she tells her she'll always be there for her daughter. The daughter looks up knowing her mother will be and the mother looks down to comfort her.
