    I like all of these, but the Child Hassam ones are my faves.

    What a lovely huge set!

    Normally I would not like Picasso's treatment of the nude female form, but these are so playful. The boat! And that third face looming over the horizon line, like a giant out to sea. I also particularly like the Kirchner and the Derain.
