Ohh "America First" was a hit list

Oh no! 🤣

Petty monarchs and their portraits…reminds me of Napoleon III ‘s portrait being rejected from the Salon in 1863, so he set up a Salons de Refusées and inadvertently created a space for Impressionism 🙃

The great William H. Johnson was born on this date in 1901. Four of his portraits from the late 1930s from the Smithsonian American Art Museum, which owns the majority of his work:

Friend in the legal dept at major art institution said they are overwhelmed scrutinizing every aspect of what they do to make sure it doesn’t run afoul of Trump’s EOs and are trying to understand if granting maternity leave could be considered DEI

The closing of the Dept of Ed rhetoric is horrifying, any student who receives Federal financial aid, any student K-12 who receives any special education services, all Title 1 schools, 60% of NYC schools are Title 1, they want to get rid of the funding for all of it 🥺 who are we????

David Lynch with his first painting, 1963

This is great! In the talk that I give about my work I mention that people have often asked me where the grossness or the shamelessness in my work comes from and I click to a slide of Trump’s retweet of his head on Rocky’s Balboa’s body. Like??It’s everywhere !! news.artnet.com/art-world-ar...

FB algorithm thinks I would like this 😭 and would like to spend a lot for it lol

Oil on paper, fast, loose (for me) paintings for larger works that are a longer process

One of the weirder things I have in my ‘archive’ of random Art world stuff is napkins and swizzle sticks with the name ‘Candy’ on them from a small party I was invited to along with other Artists. A party given by Lisa Schiff to celebrate Candy Barasch’s bday 😭 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/a...

too American 😭

For Valentine's Day, this heartfelt & adoring letter from artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres to his lover Ross Laycock, building on Gonzalez-Torres's artwork Untitled (Perfect Lovers): "We are synchronized, now and forever. I love you."

Must read every word, it puts where we are in context with the rest of the world, not a one man dictatorship, but ‘Competitive Authoritarianism’ it also has rays of light, which we sorely need! www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

The thought that scammers never reward their marks and only try to re-scam them gets me out of bed in the morning

I wonder if any art programs at state schools have received guidance on Trump’s anti-‘DEI’ muzzle and what has been communicated to faculty?

I wonder if this is partly so that they can cancel financial aid for any student protestors
