Used predominantly to help children read, picture books contain images with a short statement underneath.  In the Picture Book series, we hope to use the same technique to present a storyline that appeals to audiences of all ages, and to show that this format does not necessarily need to be limited to younger readers.  Feel free to provide alternative captions and create a new story with the images above.

This feels like a stroll through the Whitney. Have they moved to their new location yet?

How quaint do the modernist paintings look today?
