Give an example of a visual representation/piece of visual art that is related to relationship and explain the significance. Relationships can be...

This will
be as wide open a set of answers that you will get because the topic and the medium are both
fairly large canvasses for answers.  I will move off the beaten path a bit and suggest Berthe
Morisot's work, "On the Balcony" as an example of Impressionist Art that captures a
moment and expands it in the mind's eye.  The backdrop is a woman and child, presumably mother
and daughter, standing on an overpass.  The child is standing to peer over or through the
guardrails, while the mother is next to her.  I think that this art sample really catches much
about the style, the content, and the emotions present between mother and child.  On one hand, I
think that one can look at the mother and daughter, enjoying a moment in the middle of a
cosmopolitan setting.  Another examination could show that there is a look of protection and
devotion the mother renders to the child.  While the latter is looking out at the world, the
former is looking at her world, the child.  Along these lines, another look could show a
potential disengagement between the mother and her life.  Perhaps, her looking at her daughter
is one agonizing moment where disenchantment with consciousness is revealed.  There is much
within this portrait showing emotional complexity and technical mastery.
