Children about Art. The Longing for Happiness. Gustav Klimt.

Guess, oh guess, what do I see?
Sweet soul gals wash hair in glee,
and girls with towels so free,
little boats and baouncing balls -
that it is what I see.

Happiness is when kittens play around,
Happiness is when friends sing aloud.
Happiness comes in an ice-cream cone,
my father is one, who provides me this one.

This painting is part of the "Children about Art" series. It was created based on a playful survey of a group of 30 four-year-olds. Children’s free and unbiased perception of art helps viewers not only discover the meanings intended by the artist, but also take a creative approach to their own interpretation.
