It's insane for public history implications
AND it seems to open pretty amazing avenues to rethink the art history classroom assignment, but then also, more broadly, revisionist practices within the so-called global modernisms turn.... perhaps an easy low hanging fruit to have fun with after all...

I love teaching this painting in my Introd to modern art course. There is so much to unpack from it, and it's one of the few moments of true intellectual transformation for the students in that genealogy.
