Remember that I have included links on the blog to help you find reputable sites for research. Be careful where you get info and pictures on the web, many of you are posting images of art that is not by the correct artist. If you do include images of art in your post, always include the artist's name and title.

In the eyes of the women you see stephen L awrence face in the tears. Despite these specific references the artist also intended the paiting to be read in more general terms, as a universal portrayal of melocholy and grief.
