Fish, Crab, and Two Boys

Fish, Crab, and Two Boys was made with crayon and watercolor on paper by Lee Jung-Seob sometime between 1916 and 1956.

• The red of the two boys and green of the fishes and crabs are complementary and draw your eye in a circular direction around the piece. Since they form diagonal lines, this also creates a sense of motion.
• The red and green contrast conceptually as well. The humans are red and submissive (and maybe even dead) and the animals are green and active. The red dots of the animal's eyes might be suggesting that there is a sort of human element to these attacking creatures.
• The white line also helps to draw your eye across the page. 
• Because of the even distribution of the figures across the page, this piece feels balanced..
