#benshahn — Public Fediverse posts

The catalog arrived yesterday. It is beautifully produced, thoughtful curation and essays. The exhibition in Madrid, two years ago, was the first retrospective of Shahn’s work since 1947.

Here's a nice review of the Ben Shahn exhibition currently up at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. We've got a couple of paintings on loan to it.

Wanted to share an incredible piece of #publicArt that shaped my life – Ben Shahn's "The Passion of Sacco and Vanzetti". This remarkable #mosaic is on an outer wall of H.B. Crouse Hall at #SyracuseUniversity in #SyracuseNY. Sacco and Vanzetti were executed for murder on the flimsiest of evidence in 1927. I walked past this reminder of injustice every day for years.
