Bang's Big Theory... :)

I looked at La Guernica and was immediately struck by the picture. I was able to apply Bang's thoughts on shapes and colors and height of pictures without any struggle. The colors of various blues, whites, blacks and grays lend a cool (read "not comfortable") feeling. Going beyond the angst on the faces, we look at the different body language to see feelings of alarm and distress. At the very left of the picture there is a person looking strait up, giving me the idea that they were crying out to a higher being, like God. After I had that initial conclusion, I looked closer and realized that it was a person holding a smaller, limp being (baby? child?). Then I noticed the hair on the person and was able to view it as a mother mourning the death or sickness of her small child. Upon second inspection, I further see her palm facing up, outstretched, indicating a question or confusion. People on the right are looking on with suprise, etc. indicating that this isn't an everyday occurance. The jagged lines around the light at the top of the page don't make us feel like this light is warm or soothing, but like Bang says, it creates a feeling of uneasyness. Reading into what she says about things at the top of the page being more spiritual, I wonder if this "light" might represent a diety, and the jagged lines might represent anger or discontent which is what causes the strife in the picture below?...
