From our own moment, looking back at art of an earlier pandemic: Self-Portrait in Hospital Bed with Angels, c. 1993, by Jack Brusca, who died of AIDS that same year. Show of Brusca's paintings opens at Daniel Cooney Fine Art in Chelsea next month https://t.co/rwEk6ZpU5J
Émile Bernard's sketch of his friend Vincent van Gogh, after a Van Gogh self-portrait
Artist Rufino Tamayo was born #OnThisDay in 1899 in Oaxaca, Mexico. This is his 1932 canvas Las Musas de la Pintura (The Muses of Painting) @MUNALmx
@fleurdechair Thanks for the very interesting thread! Relatedly, Vincent van Gogh made a number of pictures of women in Dutch mourning dress, including these two (both from 1885) @vangoghmuseum & @krollermuller, respectively
@urbaninsideout @metmuseum @crystalbridges And bringing us closer to the present would be Mark Tansey's 1981 Innocent Eye Test, which like the Bonheur is @metmuseum
Reveling this morning in the sublimity of Andy Warhol's varied Dolly Parton portrayals, in which Dolly is alternatively ethereal and attentive
@rabihalameddine @jerrysaltz While we're at it we might as well include a Warhol portrait of Dolly from that same time- this glorious one is at @SFMOMA https://t.co/eLD4XpnZWO
"Pig Sandwich": I just love the fact that George Grosz painted a Texas barbecue joint
A thread by @RealSparklePony has put me in mind of Joe Brainard's whimsical (& often queer) riffs on cartoon character Nancy, which seem like the perfect accompaniment to a Sunday morning. They include: If Nancy Was a Boy, 1972
