So, on the page is all my research on Adlolf Gottlieb, and i like his work. His art may represent light, from his sunlike circles. Or i think they might also portray different moods, because they all give off different feeling. For example the first one "brink" gives off a warm lively feeling, while the 2nd one "orb" gives off a dark, intense feeling. I think this may relate to holden because his mood changes a lot. If Holden saw some pictures like this they could easily change his mood, which is what this artists was probably trying to do to his viewers.
