It was a brothel scene that birthed modern art. In 1865, the crowds went berserk in front of Manet’s painting of a courtesan— sobbing, shouting, getting into scuffles. Now, "the bored prostitute in her unmade bed is making its way to New York as a focal point of “Manet/Degas,” MOMA’s fall exhibition of "two city boys & the modern capital they painted." https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/09/arts/design/olympia-manet-degas-new-york-met-museum.html

The Fauves, led by Matisse, van Dongen, Derain and others. It was an old boy's club, right? No. A new exhibition demonstrates how women were central to the movement—as artists, dealers, and inspiration. https://news.artnet.com/art-world/fauves-kunstmuseum-basel-2352990

Native American art "is considered the best basket-making culture in the world, & she was the best in it.” Arguably, Louisa Keyser’s baskets were made possible not only by her talent & efforts, but by the support of white patrons. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/05/arts/design/washoe-baskets-louisa-keyser-native-americans.html

Her rediscovery in 2018 rocked the art world and placed her as an important pioneer of abstract painting. Now comes the scrutiny: Was she the sole author of the body of work, or were the paintings a collaboration by her spiritual collective? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/28/arts/design/hilma-af-klint-legacy.html

Five artists explored the landscape along the river Seine northwest of Paris in the late 1800s. As their paths crossed during this pivotal time, van Gogh, Seurat, Signac, Bernard, and Angrand discovered new motifs to inspire artistic experiments, forged friendships & ignited feuds, and encouraged & critiqued one another’s work. https://www.artic.edu/highlights/58/five-artists-along-the-seine?fbclid=IwAR3nmAxGb2UDW3xW4dPFiR0JXwrI1IgMcWSLb7hUSZTOfgRnvpXaFhQR70s

They enjoyed a mutually-inspiring friendship from the moment they met as young emigres in Paris in 1905, and a host of 20th century artists drew inspiration from the creative energy that burned between them. The friendship between Picasso & Stein in the Parisian avant-garde scene of the beginning of the 20th century created a lasting legacy in all of the arts. https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/gertrude-stein-and-pablo-picasso-the-language-of-friendship?locale=en

Wanted to take this one home from Bonhams NYC, but... outbid. 'The Hidden Apple,' Philip Evergood (1901-1973). In the mid-1940s, his attention was increasingly toward the plight of women. The painting "creates so vividly the sense of a vital and vulgar humanity." Evergood said, "There's a universal Eve there, yet there's a pathos, I felt." https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/158808213_philip-evergood-1901-1973-the-hidden-apple-40-18-x-24-14-in-1019-x-616-cm-painted-in

Two street artists separated by time and distance, yet "united by their social engagement and creation of a distinct visual language." Haring & Banksy both "elevated themselves out of a clandestine subculture of street art & into the public consciousness using the most visible public spaces to reach their audience." https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/tracing-the-line-banksy-and-keith-haring?locale=en

Two individual artists, a couple, drive the move away from abstract expressionism to Bay Area Figuration as their life experiences, and their art, evolve. An impressive exhibition at Crocker Art Museum weaves the histories, the reciprocal influence with other artists, and simply wonderful, powerful works.

It's a face only a lover of Evergood could like. 🙂 Hanging it!
'Head of a Man', 1962, Philip Evergood (1901-1973)

Painting. It's a way to unburden yourself, the doctor explained. Near the end of his life, Dr. Gachet urged van Gogh to resume painting again, and the result was truly frenetic in the 70 days before his death. https://hyperallergic.com/832113/the-doctor-who-inspired-van-goghs-final-paintings/?fbclid=IwAR0sVCkBOZcubVKDqnGeipUbld6E-N_nuAXNm2jgt0eBBXxF57YQkJ1AaAs
