Final Four (Brackets)

While I was filling out my NCAA B'ball bracket last week I began to wonder,what if this were paintings? What would be my four favorites of... let's say the last hundred years? This is what I came up with.

1.Guernica, Picasso (easy choice, saw it at MOMA, 1977, like someone hit me with a sledgehammer).
2. The Great Parade, F. Leger (such "joie de vivre").
3. Attempting The Impossible, Magritte (hard to pick my favorite by him).
4. Just saw the "Frida & Diego" show at the High Museum so how about Frida Kahlo's Moses.


Below are four paintings that are out in the world but not on this blog.
