I agree with Elise! Great post, S.! And really cool to see the artwork you chose -- each contains a specifically "Sophia element" in the aesthetic appearance and the attitude portrayed in it, especially the Matisse and Masclet.

I'm glad you guys like! I was a little worried I'd depart from the Yum-Yum spirit by posting just a list of other people's art works -- and I really like that this is the norm -- but I thought maybe it could be something that people do? You know, here's a list of five things. Five things I saw. Five art works I liked. Five songs I used to hate. Easy-peasy.

S. -- definitely! I think this is a really cool idea for the yum yum. To quote an above comment: "More posts like this, please!!"
