Carroll Cloar
American, 1913–1993
In the twentieth century, the interior lives of children held great interest for artists, which is evidenced by the abundance of artworks showing young people as elements within a contemporary environment. The children in this composition are largely subordinate to the setting; however, their presence is key. Their positioning in the doorway places them in a space of transition: they are neither in, nor out. By virtue of their ages, they are moving from one stage of life to another. Their relaxed attitudes and calm demeanors reflect comfort with their time and place within this transition.
