A luminous Still Life with Nectarines by Hughie Lee-Smith at @SwannGalleries African American art sale
American art is a theme here, since we can also spy Gilbert Stuart's so-called "Lansdowne" portrait of George Washington @smithsoniannpg—which has been flipped as well. Just an imaging error, or could these reversals have been intended to convey the character's malevolence?

Why do I research, teach, and write about art history? Because artworks from the past continue to resonate so strongly with us in the present. Case in point: Refugees, c. 1938, by African American artist Robert Blackburn, one of the most gifted modern printmakers
In his 1944 collage picture "Headlines," created in the midst of World War II, Charles White uses aesthetic means to convey the concern and distress prompted by the day's news, a resonant experience for many of us of late
Because we could all probably use a brief timeline cleanse, a thread of Ruth Asawa's stunning, resplendent flowers. First up: Poppy, 1965
