Winslow Homer @metmuseum a lovely show, but I'm extremely disappointed it includes absolutely none of his many illustrations. These were formative works that illuminate his broader artistic output. Why are art museums still so beholden to these outmoded aesthetic distinctions?

Happy 95th birthday to Alex Katz, born #OnThisDay in 1927, who has devoted his career to crafting a singular painterly vision: Self-Portrait Swimming #2, 1991

Leon Golub, Running Man, 1965

"I felt that I have no right to withdraw from the responsibility of being an advocate. It is my duty to voice the sufferings of humanity, the never-ending sufferings heaped mountain-high." -Käthe Kollwitz

John Steuart Curry, Circus Clowns at Rest. In the early 1930s, Regionalist painter Curry spent three months traveling with the Ringling Brothers-Barnum & Bailey Circus

Robert Colescott, Miss Liberty, 1980

I'd like to imagine the scientists were inspired by a picture widely reproduced in the 1980s: Mark Tansey's 1981 "The Innocent Eye Test" @metmuseum. Even though Tansey depicts a bovine rather than avian test subject, a Monet haystack is visible at right, so maybe that's up next?

The investigators helpfully provided a list of the paintings they showed to their avian test subjects, so to all the art historians out there, feel free to use these as compare-&-contrast questions on your own exams

@D1rtclod @APunishedBill He was an incredible creative force, an unrelenting activist, and a visionary. So much work by him that continues to resonate for us today

Kind of grooving on this portrayal of Quasimodo as a bearded, pensive zaddy type, by always quirky 19th-century Belgian painter Antoine Wiertz @FineArtsBelgium https://t.co/LBWleznoYJ
