@ClevelandArt @janecalexander The gift includes a number of fine John Marin watercolors.
This 1928 Marin of a view from Maine's Morse Mountain compresses space wonderfully. (Those diagonal lines in the grassy ground!)
From the superb @peabodyessex exhibition of John Thomson's 1870-71 pictures of SE China, Yuen-Fu Rapid.
@newmuseum @Spotify For example: de Kooning in 1983 @museummodernart, 1987 @whitneymuseum.
(He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 1989.)
Barry X Ball explains how his examinations of major sculptures extends a long history of other artists adding to those same sculptures. He's @nashersculpture and on the new MAN Podcast!

On President's Day I find myself writing about Gilbert Stuart's 1796 Athenaeum portrait of Washington. (In 1980 the Boston Athenaeum sold it to @mfaboston and @smithsoniannpg.)
Acquired by the Athenaeum in advance of the 1832 GW centenary, you know it from the $1 bill.
A hard-earned Nathan Oliveira, 1958's Reclining Nude @StanfordArts's Anderson Collex. The space, more than the figure, seems the thing.
@TheHuntington Anyway, @TheHuntington has hung LACMA's vagabond Lawrence with its great, great ~1823-26 Constable of Salisbury Cathedral.
The Huntington needed another British portrait like LACMA needed another tweet from me, but so what? This is a wonderful pairing.
Melvin Edwards might be the most underrated sculptor in 20th-century art; his 'lynch fragment' works are among it's greatest achievements.
From that series, Afro-Phoenix #2, 1963 in SOAN @deyoungmuseum.
Chiura Obata and the Japanese-American experience of WWII: first the chaos of dislocation (1941, at left), then the atomic bombings of Japan (1945, at right).
