  1. My favorite picture was The Hands of Dr. Moore. The tree had so much shape and character to it.

  2. I like the one called "Night Scene -1907". For one, it's a very pretty painting and also when I saw it, it reminded me of like the manger scene with baby Jesus. I'm not sure why, but my first impression of it was that it looked like the night Jesus was born. -Katherine Strickland

  3. I like "House over the Bridge-1909" because it conveys a sense of calmness. This painting reminds me of Italy and how some sections float on water.

  4. I like the "portrait of Lupe Marin" because of her irregularly large hands and the mirror effect.

  8. My favorite was "La Tour Eiffel". It looks like Diego Rivera put a lot of time and thought into how he could make such an important and well known landmark look abstract to give it character.

  15. Portrait dAdolfo Best Maugard. There's something sinister to this one and I like how almost all of it is one color. This guy looks like he's up to no good but whatever it is he does, hes good at it.

  17. I like "House over the Bridge" because it reminds me of when I was kayaking down this river in South Carolina with a few friends. We saw this beautiful house with a section you could kayak under and we all decided we would live there someday.

  18. I liked "motherhood Angela and the child diego" because the shapes and color assortment and spontaneous and interesting. It looks like a third grader may have been able to paint it, but it gives off a vibe of randomness and superior craftsmanship. Savannah P
