And the invitation for Pop painter James Rosenquist's exhibition at the Dwan Gallery the following year @ArchivesAmerArt https://t.co/H5x4kmYmPS
@ykomska As a pick-me-up, how about this 1999 screenprint entitled "Play" by Jacob Lawrence, whose birthday is today...?
Or Jacob Lawrence...and countless others? This devotion to the idea that art exists only in a rarefied realm, divorced from social & political realities, is one of the most detrimental myths inculcated by mainstream modernism. Shocking that some still cling to it so fervently
@AndrewRusseth Or how about this- I'll let you have "Jubilee" when it comes up for auction. Agreed?
@SThomas82126835 @metmuseum @JesseMLocker @arh279 @Luciferloo @PhyllisASears One final follow-up for all those who added to the thread: I just found another still-life by the marquise, and lo & behold it shows a (mother?) bird feeding her young. Perhaps the mother & child fly motif isn't such a far-fetched hypothesis after all? And with that, we're done!
Puzzling over this @metmuseum still life posted by @JesseMLocker. At first I thought circled detail was a cantaloupe seed, but now think it might be a baby fruit fly (pupa). Is this meant as a mother & child scene? And significant, then, that it was painted by a woman artist? https://t.co/ZsNrDFtJS6
A thread celebrating Impressionist painter Gustave Caillebotte, born #OnThisDay in 1848, who clearly had a keen appreciation for the male form, and was a painter of #zaddies long before that word even existed (Self-Portrait, 1888-89; Man at His Bath, 1884)
