"She believed that photographs could help change people's minds." It was the Great Depression that spurred Dorothea Lange to turn to documentary photography. Beginning her career as a studio photographer, she began to see people in need on the streets. "It was that experience of seeing something that was not right that made her go out and want to do something."

New York's transformation in the 20th Century into a vibrant, modern city is largely thanks to a cohort of radical women artists, a new book says. But that "transformation was largely thanks to a bold, taboo-busting cohort of women who pushed boundaries both creatively and socially—as artists, writers, salon hosts and patrons." image Library of Congress

In art history, Fauvism is often just a blur. But the Wild Beasts are getting their due as the Met narrows the field to Fauvism’s two leaders, Henri Matisse and André Derain.

'Compotier et Guitare' holds profound connections to Picasso's relationships with Henri Matisse & Marie-Thérèse Walter, his muse. The "intricate array of colors, shapes, & emotions that unfold on the canvas are stories of love & competition which would define not only Picasso’s iconography, but the broader canon of Western art as a whole." [VIDEO: Christie's] https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/expert-voices-picassos-compotier-et-guitare?locale=en

They just wanted to tell the truth. Far from homogenous, they ended up "agitating the viewing public to the very depth of its soul." Those German Expressionists—Die Brücke, conveying a feverish delirium, and Der Blaue Reiter, united by a love of nature. Then came the Degenerates. https://www.christies.com/features/german-expressionism-guide-12084-1.aspx?sc_lang=en#fid-12084

Whimsical & sublime. Chance & mystical. Yet controlled & rehearsed, logical & potent. Long revered in Latin America, Remedios Varo's storytelling prowess is only now entering the canon in the United States. Like other female Surrealists, Remedios Varo's achievements have been slow to be measured, yet the Art Institute of Chicago is now presenting more than 60 of her works. https://www.artnews.com/art-in-america/aia-reviews/science-fictions-remedios-varo-review-1234678740/?fbclid=IwAR2cS_4j6TWGTIGqfA_Raf5EOKnCekVlXgm2TFi6s4TXM3-ZF7IRpTN3vwk

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

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

The self-conscious and sophisticated primitivism that he adopted found Basquiat toying with the premise that a Black artist should in fact be ‘primitive.’ He acknowledged Picasso as one of his most important influences, and 'Untitled,' (Pablo Picasso), painted & drawn in oil, acrylic & oilstick on a square metal panel, is a bold tribute from one 20th-century titan to another.

It was the last painting sitting on his easel. It was also radically different in texture & tone from his better-known masterpieces of a decade earlier. What holds us entranced is the carefully choreographed clash of pattern & pigment that reveals how far Klimt had travelled creatively in the decade before his death. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20230621-klimts-lady-with-a-fan-the-painting-thats-valued-at-65m

"Since I can remember, art has been magical. That has never changed... It is especially in times like these that we need to look to the spiritual. In art we find it. I cling to the belief that creativity brings truth, that art inspires wisdom, And I continue to believe that art is here to tell us who we have been, who we are, and who we can become."
~ Flora Miller Biddle (granddaughter of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney)

"Soup can or painting? Masterpiece or salable product?" A survey of the Brant Foundation’s Warhols is on show. But does it "help us acknowledge not the rightness of Warhol’s achievement but the profound and fertile wrongness that was in it from the start?" https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/01/arts/design/warhol-peter-brant-foundation-art.html

For nearly 80 years after O’Keeffe’s MoMA retrospective, the museum didn’t pay her much attention. Now, it's refocusing on her penchant for repeating images as a “serial practice"—by pushing her motifs toward abstraction or exploring different materials. But does MoMA really need to reestablish O'Keeffe's Modernist bonafides?

He was a Social Realist at a time when the world was going abstract, yet he continued to suggest the enormous emotion of his subjects, saying, "I want to castigate the things I hate and paint monuments to what I feel is noble." Social commentary remained the backbone of his art.
'Man with Sprite,' Joseph Hirsch (1910-1981), ca. 1950 (I prefer to call it 'Enlightenment.') Private collection.
