I just realized what three of my favorite pieces of art have in common (besides being predictable). Can you figure it out?
The Persistence of Memory
The Treachery of Images
Landscape with the Fall of Icarus
that’s right: “the” and “of” in their titles. obviously.

When I taught high school on my island I found myself at a loss for what to talk about one day. I’m not sure why, buy I started telling the kids the story of Icarus. They were completely mesmerized. So much so, that I ended up telling them different myths every week. It was their favorite part of the class and by the end of the year they knew all about Midas and Narcissus and The Minotaur. I think they would have liked this picture too.
