The idea behind Double Visions is that sometimes seeing two artworks side-by-side helps us notice things we might miss if we only looked at one painting. We've matched up pairs of artworks that we think create sparks when you look at them together. Some of the works are very similar and some are very different. Look at the sets with an eye toward comparing and contrasting.

If you like you can read a more complete description of the ideas behind this activity.
