As this description of Barrels of Money says, the artist of this painting perhaps temps the viewer of the painting with immense fortune. He touches on the divide in America between wealth and poverty. What does this painting say about people’s relationships or views of money in their lives? Does this barrel of money act as motivation for one’s financial goals or is it intimidating? Can the emotions and feelings evoked by this painting inform us about how people relate and feel about their finances? Do people sympathize with their future selves and work to secure their finances?
