Review: “Flower Festival” by Diego Rivera, Eurographics – 8.75/10
This gorgeous puzzle by Diego Rivera offers the best of two worlds--it's a fine art image but it also feels contemporary, colorful, and far from fussy or dull. The bright colors and random cut make assembly interesting. It has enough difficulty to appeal to a true puzzler, but isn't too hard for a family puzzle night. When you're done, you'll have an image worthy of framing. Recommended.
