The impact of Sorolla's teaching on Arthur Grover Rider is obvious from this work - the sunlight, the subject matter, and the rendering of the sea. Rider moved to Los Angeles in 1924 and lived and worked near Laguna Beach throughout the 1930s where this work was painted.

Title: Doubts cast on another beloved inspirational tale Panel 1 Our investigations team has learned that the names "Jack" and "Jill" were invented to conceal a less than salubrious past.

Poem title: At the Intersection The poem is divided into two overlapping circles. The left-hand circle is titled ‘me’ and the text reads: the day we went out to have an ice-cream, we said nothing just let our silence melt in the air as we walked across the common our love never tiring at all The right-hand circle is titled ‘you’ and the text reads: we should have talked it over but nothing ever seems to get in your fat head. You are so common that I wish we’d never met at all and I’d married Tim instead In the intersection of the poem (where the two circles overlap), the text reads: we have nothing in common at all
