  13. There's an alternate history of modern art to consider, and it's on display at the Georgia Museum of Art.

  17. A major retrospective of Philip Evergood is long overdue. A leading Modernist of the 20th Century, Evergood combined abstraction & realism, with subjects in the 1930s that made him also one of the leading Social Realists of the period.

  25. 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.

  37. 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.

  41. '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."

  49. He may have studied under an Impressionist master, but he was never a full-time artist, choosing to paint in the evenings after his day-job, well into the night.

  58. All of us could probably use a good laugh. But what made people in the Dutch Golden Age laugh? Frans Hals knew. "No other artist of the last 400 years painted quite as many smiles." Yet, for long stretches, Hals was forgotten or ignored. Did that that lack of sobriety make it hard to take him seriously? A retrospective takes another look, even considering him on a par with Vermeer. nytimes.com/2023/10/02/arts/de
