When I first look at this photo in the museum it caught my attention intensely ! I couldn't believe this work of art had so much uniqueness and detail. I did browse and study other art in the museum but, this one had beauty and history. Now what I did was went home and look up more information on the artistes John Biggers to get a full understanding of his work. What I discover he was African America muralist, found the Art department at now Texas Southern University 1949, and one of the first African American arts to visit Africa. Once he took his trip to Africa is when he start creating his mind blowing  and speechless work of art. It was said he was trying to express his perspective of the hate crime that people had to suffer because of there race and religious beliefs.  I believe that this painting is representational because, it showing how and African family and friends can get together and cerebrate a day of jubilee which is spoke of in the bible.
