Bellows's disturbing scene is worlds apart from John Sloan's painting of the same period @MAG_Rochester, which in contrast presents an election eve as cause for joyous & lighthearted celebration

While Philip Guston was in news recently due to cancelled museum show, he should also be known for one of most scathing artistic eviscerations of a disgraced politician: San Clemente, 1975, in which Nixon's phlebitis-engorged leg comes to stand for diseased, maplike body politic

Absolutely fascinated by 1907 James Van Der Zee schoolroom photo @WilliamsMoA. Student drawings or paintings on back wall are strikingly abstract & also surprisingly reminiscent of later work of Jacob Lawrence. Does anyone know what sorts of exercises these would have been?

With opening of the new Penn Station I can't help but think of Ashcan School artist George Bellows, who in the early 20th century captured the massive excavations for the first iteration of that venue in two paintings, one @brooklynmuseum & the other @smithartmuseum

Alex Katz, Winter, 1996

These images, made just a few years apart, are by two modern artists who understood the power of masks in expressing the conflicts of identity: Frida Kahlo, 1945; and Yasuo Kuniyoshi, 1948

@RembrandtsRoom Kirby!

People love to disparage the humanities these days but the more I read about social media the more I think that if tech leaders like Zuckerberg had a bit more training in literature, art history, philosophy, et al., our world would not be in the parlous state it's in right now

@RealSparklePony I wanted to use this one - Big Red Smile (linocut), 1995 - but the resonance of the color red right now argued against it

The sadness of art historical precedent: that we're now expecting something far from the raucous fun in John Sloan's 1907 Election Night @MAG_Rochester, & instead closer to the darkly violent confrontations of George Bellows's election night drawing of the same era @hirshhorn
