Jim Flora, Tenement K

Artifact, 436 pieces.  I admit, I liked this one a bit less than others, including Flora puzzles, because of all the Picasso-esque female nudity.  I didn't notice it in the picture before purchase, which is on me! It wasn't hidden! But I neither like the style nor the gratuitousness of the female nudity (which I understand is like thinking the food is so bad and the portions so small, but there is a point to that complaint too).  Anyway, as a technical matter it's a perfectly solid Artifact puzzle with a number of larger pieces but a few tinier ones as well, and some laser cutting to do detail on some of the figural pieces, many of which pick up the Picasso-esque theme.  (There are also a number of letter whimsies, which I didn't quite understand, and a multi-piece guitar.)  3/5 on points.
