Beautiful curation of artworks by MoMA from artists that I otherwise wouldn't have known about if I didn't read this. The short contextual analysis of two parallel artworks was also really informative and easy to digest as a reader. I now have new artists whose works and life I want to know about; particularly more women photographers. It was also a funny coincidence to see several Edvard Munch artworks since I had just finished reading about him prior to this!
