Jacob Lawrence’s “Confrontation at the Bridge” commemorates the pivotal moment in 1965 when civil rights marchers faced (and overcame) racist police and townspeople at the Edmond Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. (Courtesy of Greg Kucera Gallery)

I'm not sure I can say this is my favorite, but I can say I'm going out of my way to catch this artists works in the coming week!

I like Banksy works of art which challenge social norms and how he brings attention to subjects which media tends to not privilege as important social changes not being challenged publicly.

Here is a couple I absolutely like (the Balloon, and the Robot)

I heart Banksy for his PSA Graffiti Art ❤️

Here is his 9th mural depicting a gorilla setting wild life free from the prison of zoos.

Pacasso has a way of putting differerent points of view to the viewer. Is there a young woman seeing herself as older? Is the woman looking deep into her real self? Are we left to our own analysis or just to enjoy another of Pacasso's works? I love his works as I can compare them to Gertrude Stein's writings as both of these artists (best friends), seem to work with the same attitude. I did a workup of these two, comparing how different and yet how much the same they both think. Are any of their works beyond scrutiny by us or do we know it is intentional by both of them? Is it a matter of what the artists intended, what the artist held back from the viewer or part of the art never devulged as what the inner thoughs behind each of their pieces that they kept to themselves? Compare thoughts with Picassos "Girl Before the Mirror" to Steins "Making of the Americas". A very interesting reflection on each others works.
