What does Carel willink artwork say about social economic or political culture of the world they lived in?

Question

I can’t find anything about this

Answer 1

First, consider what was going on at the time he was painting. What does his mood say about the happenings locally and worldwide? Then look at the buildings he chooses to use. What is their importance to the world? Finally, look at the people in the paintings. What do their posture and dress tell you? There is a YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1kwyEjHrIY that helps to explain all of this using one of his paintings.
