(5) Now his works are on exhibit again. (6) You can even buy posters of his paintings!

(7) One of his most famous works is a realistic painting by the name of “The Banjo Lesson。” (8) It was inspired by a poem of Paul Laurence Dunbar. (9) The painting isn’t like a photograph. (10) The magnificence of his work can be seen with each subtle brush stroke, each carefully crafted detail. (11) The effect is truly beautiful.
