"Baseball at Night" By Morris Kantor a Russian artistLocation: West Nyack, New YorkYear; 1934
I like this painting because I feel it depicts optimism in a time of great depression and anxiety for the people of America. It shows people gathering together in the nocturnal atmosphere to escape the harsh times at home for some camaraderie and both affordable and fun entertainment. The flags flying in the background of the painting show patriotism which gave a sense of hope and pride to the American people.

"Tenement Flats"
I like this because it shows people socializing and enjoying their neighbors during a very stressful time. I like the bright colors because it gives a feeling of optimism and a relaxed feeling of the woman after an afternoon of chores.
"Skating in Central Park"
This painting was appealing to me because again it shows the skaters enjoying some winter fun during harsh days. I loved the Manhattan skyline in the background and the colors the artist used to create the wintry feeling.

Baseball is America's passtime. It was a way for many people to forget about financial trouble and enjoy a baseball game at night. I love this one!
I agree that this piece of art represents great optimism during a tough period. Baseball was a good example of how American people tried to make the best of their situation.
