Author: Banksy, a famous graffiti artist in England, drew this picture. This is only one of the many paintings by Banksy all over the world. Even though he is famous worldwide, nobody has actually ever seen him. Even though he keeps his identity hidden, his art has been sold and books have been published with his work. Banksy is considered one of the most unique and talented artists of our decade.
Context/Exigence: The context of this painting is hope and believing in something beautiful and innocent which most of the time is not. The exigence is that many people in this area may not have hope, so Banksy painted this to bring some light to them.
Purpose: The purpose of this painting was to send the message that there always is hope, and was purposely placed in a poor looking area to send this message to people. It also shows how graffiti can be beautiful instead of trashy and covered up. All of Bansky's graffiti is artistic and has a message to it.
Audience: The audience is anyone who lives in this bad, urban area of England that is on the streets.
Rhetorical Elements: This painting appeals to pathos, because one's hope and belief is usually related to emotion. It also emotional because of the little girl, your eyes are drawn to her because she looks lonely but innocent, letting go of her beloved balloon.
