    A beautiful museum with a great collection of contemporary and mid-century American art. Well worth visiting. #brooklynproud #brooklyn #art #artcollection #artphotography #artlover❤️ #artmatters

  3. At the Brooklyn Museum: SARAH COWELL LEMOYNE (1877) by Jane E. Bartlett and HOUDON PAUL-LOUIS (2011) by Kehinde Wiley.

    Different centuries, same badass attitude.

  5. Old meets new at the Brooklyn Museum. There’s a lot going on here, but I like how, for me, it all visually and thematically comes together. Lots more details in the alt text.

  6. Last one for today. Alexis Rockman: Manifest Destiny (2004).

    This 24-foot mural was at the Brooklyn Museum long ago, but I found it as an exhibit book at the old Strand Annex. I loved it, and framed the fold-out. Not only did this brighten my home decor, it gave friends and family a head start on new Brooklyn waterfront real estate. That's not easy to get.

  7. Who is next? You or I for taking pictures of protest signs? This is a very slippery slope to #Fascism!

    #NYC #journalist who documented #ProPalestinian vandalism arrested on felony #HateCrime charges

    “This is an extremely serious charge against a #journalist. If he did not a participant in these events, this could be a brazen violation of the right of the press to gather news.” -- attorney Robert Balin

    NEW YORK (AP) — "A New York City journalist was arrested on felony hate crime charges Tuesday after filming a pro-#Palestinian protest earlier this summer in which activists hurled red paint at the homes of top leaders at the #BrooklynMuseum.

    "#SamuelSeligson, an independent videographer, was not involved in the #vandalism, but is accused of traveling in a car with the #activists and entering private property with them, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the case.

    "The official spoke with The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.

    "Leena Widdi, an attorney for Seligson, said New York Police Department officers twice raided Seligson’s Brooklyn apartment in the past week before he turned himself in early Tuesday.

    "She described the arrest and use of a hate crime statute as an 'appalling' overreach by police against a journalist with a city-issued press credential. Seligson, who is Jewish, is a fixture at New York City protests who has licensed and sold footage to mainstream outlets, including Reuters and ABC News.

    "'Samuel is being charged for alleged behavior that is protected by the First amendment and consistent with his job as a credentialed member of the press,' Widdi said in an email. 'What is even more concerning, however, is that this member of the press is being charged with a hate crime.'"

  8. Authorities are investigating reports of vandals targeting the homes of the #BrooklynMuseum's #Jewish director & some board members after #NYC Comptroller Brad Lander posted photos of red paint-smeared doors & hateful speech.

    "The cowards who did this are way over the line into #antisemitism, harming the cause they claim to care about, & making everyone less safe," Lander said.

  9. Maybe I’m missing something, but a museum seems like a very odd place for this type of protest.
