American artist Kerry James Marshall is one of the world's most important living painters. Marshall has been making his large-scale, vividly colourful evocations of African-American life for over 40 years. His figurative paintings are rich with symbolism, metaphor and visual references to both social history and his favourite artists from the past. A 1997 painting called Past Times, which evokes works by Seurat and Manet, sold at auction in 2018 for $21m, setting a world record for a work by a living African-American artist. In the autumn of 2025 a retrospective of his paintings opened at London's Royal Academy, his largest exhibition outside of the US.Producer: Edwina Pitman

In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic Sebastian Smee chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about his choices while crafting Paris in Ruins: How Love, War and Art Gave Birth to Impressionism. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: How the chaos of war and revolution in 1870s Paris shaped the birth of Impressionism. Why the relationship between Édouard Manet and Berthe Morisot was central to the book and the Impressionist Movement. How Impressionism's quick brushwork and light fixation reflect trauma, urgency and impermanence. Why Smee gives Berthe Morisot equal prominence and reinterprets her legacy in a male-dominated art world. What it means to write empathetic, narrative-driven biography while honouring archival truth. Why art made in crisis can speak across generations and offer hope, resistance and resilience.

Mario Calabresi dialoga con lo storico dell'arte Jacopo Veneziani per indagare il legame tra gentilezza e arte. A partire da un curioso episodio legato a Manet e a un asparago, il racconto si snoda tra storie di artisti noti per la loro delicatezza, attenzione e rispetto verso gli altri. Da Mondrian a Rothko, da Clara Peeters a Chagall e Hopper, emerge un'idea di arte come gesto gentile, spazio di ascolto e possibilità di relazione. Veneziani riflette anche sul ruolo della gentilezza nella divulgazione, come modo di mettersi in dialogo, e non in cattedra, con chi ascolta.

Artiste montante de la scène états-unienne, Mickalene Thomas s'est fait connaître dès les années 1990 pour le regard nouveau et engagé qu'elle porte sur la place des femmes noires dans l'art. Son travail infuse dans les connaissances précises de l'histoire de l'art dont elle réinvente les codes. Pour clore son itinérance internationale, après Los Angeles, Philadelphie et Londres, celle-ci présente jusqu'au 9 novembre son exposition « All About Love » au musée des Abattoirs de Toulouse, dans le sud de la France. Les œuvres et installations de Mickalene Thomas mêlent peinture, photographies, vidéos, et surtout collage. Ses tableaux très colorés représentent les femmes de sa vie : sa mère, ses amies, ses amantes, ainsi que des artistes qu'elle admire. Elle photographie et peint des corps noirs, gros, queers, au regard assuré et à l'érotisme affirmé, manière pour elle de questionner les notions traditionnelles de beauté, de sexualité et de féminité, simplement en donnant à voir sa réalité. Elle représente notamment des femmes en train de se reposer, pour affirmer que les corps noirs ont, eux aussi, droit au repos, aux loisirs et au luxe.  « Les systèmes sociaux cherchent à enfermer les femmes noires dans le rôle de servante, estime Mickalene Thomas. On ne nous perçoit pas souvent comme des personnes ayant droit à la joie ou au loisir. Même si nous possédons tout cela, ce n'est pas ce qu'on choisit de mettre en lumière chez nous. Ce qui est mis en avant, au contraire, ce sont nos traumatismes, les services rendus aux patriarches, à l'idéologie de la société blanche. Mon travail s'adresse avant tout aux femmes noires ordinaires qui possèdent toutes ces choses qu'on leur refuse souvent, parce qu'on leur répète qu'elles ne devraient même pas les désirer. Mais pourtant le désir est bien là, comme la sensualité est là, mais aussi l'excellence, la joie, l'amour. Toutes ces choses sont là, profondément ancrées dans leur identité », poursuit-elle.  Le déjeuner sur l'herbe d'Édouard Manet revisité Toute l'œuvre de Mickalene Thomas célèbre les femmes noires et leur lutte pour occuper les espaces sociaux et artistiques. Le seul espace où elles n'ont pas à se battre devient alors leur foyer. L'artiste crée de grandes installations immersives inspirées des pièces de son enfance qui deviennent des lieux de reprise du pouvoir, de liberté et de communauté.  L'artiste raconte : « Un foyer est avant tout un lieu de joie, de réconfort et de sécurité. L'importance de ce lieu est au cœur de mon travail. En fait, peu importe le chaos du monde extérieur, les épreuves auxquelles on doit faire face dehors. Que ce soit mon père ou ma mère, lorsqu'ils sortaient de la maison, ils affrontaient toutes sortes de discriminations liées à la couleur de leur peau. Alors quand ils rentraient, le foyer redevenait un espace de beauté, d'amour, de grâce même. Un lieu où on comprend les difficultés vécues au quotidien, dès le moment où l'on en passe la porte ». Mickalene Thomas revisite également des tableaux classiques de l'histoire de l'art européen, comme Le déjeuner sur l'herbe d'Édouard Manet dans lequel les femmes apparaissent passives et façonnées par le regard masculin. Elle se les réapproprie en y intégrant des femmes affirmées, incarnant un érotisme puissant et libre. « All About Love » invite à repenser nos imaginaires et à célébrer l'amour sous toutes ses formes.

C'est une héroïne dont on a longtemps ignoré le nom. Pas de fusil, pas de batailles spectaculaires… juste un carnet, un crayon, et une incroyable détermination. Son nom ? Rose Valland. Grâce à elle, des milliers d'œuvres d'art pillées par les nazis ont pu être sauvées.Le pillage naziPendant l'Occupation, les nazis ne se contentent pas de contrôler la France. Ils pillent ses richesses. Tableaux, sculptures, objets d'art : tout ce que possèdent les musées, les collections privées, et surtout celles des familles juives, est saisi. Ce butin considérable est centralisé au Musée du Jeu de Paume, à Paris, transformé en véritable entrepôt du vol organisé.C'est là que travaille Rose Valland, modeste attachée de conservation. Aux yeux des nazis, c'est une employée sans importance. Mais ils ignorent une chose : Rose comprend l'allemand. Et elle les écoute. Chaque jour, elle note les conversations, les numéros de wagons, les destinations des convois.Une espionne de l'artAvec patience et sang-froid, Rose Valland consigne tout dans ses carnets. Chaque détail compte : l'expédition de tel tableau de Renoir vers Munich, le départ d'un Cézanne pour Berlin, ou la présence de tel dignitaire nazi au Jeu de Paume. Elle risque sa vie à chaque instant. Si les Allemands découvraient qu'elle les espionne, ce serait la déportation, peut-être la mort. Mais Rose tient bon. Pendant quatre années, elle mène une résistance silencieuse, armée seulement de son érudition et de sa mémoire.Après la LibérationQuand Paris est libéré en 1944, ses notes deviennent une arme précieuse. Grâce à elles, les Monuments Men — ce corps spécial créé par les Alliés pour retrouver les œuvres d'art volées — savent où chercher. Des milliers de tableaux, parmi lesquels des chefs-d'œuvre de Léonard de Vinci, Monet, Manet ou Picasso, sont localisés, saisis dans les dépôts nazis et rapatriés en France.Sans ce travail acharné et clandestin, une grande partie de notre patrimoine aurait disparu, engloutie dans les collections privées ou perdue à jamais dans les ruines de la guerre.Une reconnaissance tardiveEt pourtant, Rose Valland reste longtemps dans l'ombre. Après la guerre, elle continue de servir les musées français avec la même modestie. Ce n'est qu'à la fin de sa vie que son rôle est reconnu à sa juste valeur. Elle reçoit la Légion d'honneur, la Médaille de la Résistance, et son nom devient symbole de courage discret.ConclusionRose Valland n'a pas combattu avec des armes, mais elle a lutté avec ce qu'elle avait de plus précieux : sa mémoire et son courage. Alors, la prochaine fois que vous admirerez un tableau impressionniste au musée, souvenez-vous de cette femme discrète qui, seule, a défié l'avidité nazie pour sauver une part essentielle de notre culture.

Our guest this week is Suzy Krause, a Canadian novelist whose book I Think We've Been Here Before is set in the few weeks leading up to the Christmas holiday in a small town in Saskatchewan.  This book is cozy but not in a way you would expect because something terrible is about to happen.  A cosmic event is going to end the world, and residents have several weeks to prepare.  But this apocalyptic story is hopeful and uplifting and makes you feel good.  How can you combine the end of the world with Christmas and make it comforting?  That's what we asked Suzy because she has written a book that is nothing like I've ever read.  It's like a little unexpected gift under the tree.    For our book rec section of this episode, we are talking about diaries. And no, we're not going to be reading from our diaries because that would be a snoozefest. We've selected both nonfiction and fictional diaries that allow us to get a sneak peek into a historic event or a situation that we don't know much about.    Books Mentioned In this Episode:   1- I Think We've Been Here Before by Suzy Krause 2- We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver  3- A Mother's Reckoning: Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy by Sue Klebold  4- The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K.

Le porno est plutôt une affaire privée. Les bonnes mœurs demandent à ce que les images trop crues soient cachées des yeux du grand public. Mais selon les époques, cette notion du “présentable” varie. Et ce qui a pu scandaliser autrefois est aujourd'hui exposé dans les musées, comme certains tableaux célèbres devenus des classiques. Prenons l'exemple du déjeuner sur l'herbe d'Édouard Manet en 1863. Il fait scandale en présentant une femme nue aux côtés de deux hommes habillés, partageant un pique-nique dans un décor champêtre. Ce qui a beaucoup gêné au-delà de la nudité, c'est le regard direct de la femme nue vers le spectateur. Une attitude hautement érotique assumée. Quels sont les autres exemples du genre ? Et la nudité est-elle toujours taboue ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant Vous Savez - Culture". Un podcast Bababam Originals, écrit et réalisé par Béatrice Jumel.

BURNING CITIES CONTINUED, THEN AND NOW.  8/8: Paris in Ruins: Love, War, and the Birth of Impressionism by  Sebastian Smee  (Author) 1870 PARIS CLAUDE MONET 1840-1926 https://www.amazon.com/Paris-Ruins-Love-Birth-Impressionism/dp/1324006951/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.0LrrcogTAXmGjiJTXHGqcmh6tG316iU_qBRT5krAjbY8X2w9audnxQy7kzk7OLkh_2lSbQ2ybUZGAqxzqsV7SIXXh__kEnq4cHn6QdDz3Vu5xuCtROqvHYC4bnq-Wd16OQ0xBFKI0YF5Q12M2HxhsXNW0KzxEvl3JkXmjEm-lB835FTP4AOXbZmDkXRwFFwP8JAim1mTpk-tRD1mx2eyRyT4izNxH2zOMi6vWoub4fk.sBKL5PJ8cK_YQQ9SXWo2jUROfRmEzorpra10Qr1m--0&dib_tag=se&qid=1739487181&refinements=p_27%3ASebastian+Smee&s=books&sr=1-1 From the summer of 1870 to the spring of 1871, famously dubbed the “Terrible Year” by Victor Hugo, Paris and its people were besieged, starved, and forced into surrender by Germans―then imperiled again as radical republicans established a breakaway Commune, ultimately crushed by the French Army after bloody street battles and the burning of central Paris. As renowned art critic Sebastian Smee shows, it was against the backdrop of these tumultuous times that the Impressionist movement was born―in response to violence, civil war, and political intrigue. In stirring and exceptionally vivid prose, Smee tells the story of those dramatic days through the eyes of great figures of Impressionism. Édouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, and Edgar Degas were trapped in Paris during the siege and deeply enmeshed in its politics. Others, including Pierre-August Renoir and Frédéric Bazille, joined regiments outside of the capital, while Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro fled the country just in time. In the aftermath, these artists developed a newfound sense of the fragility of life. That feeling for transience―reflected in Impressionism's emphasis on fugitive light, shifting seasons, glimpsed street scenes, and the impermanence of all things―became the movement's great contribution to the history of art. At the heart of it all is a love story; that of Manet, by all accounts the father of Impressionism, and Morisot, the only woman to play a central role in the movement from the start. Smee poignantly depicts their complex relationship, their tangled effect on each other, and their great legacy, while bringing overdue attention to the woman at the heart of Impressionism

Édouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, and Edgar Degas were trapped in Paris during the siege and deeply enmeshed in its politics. Others, including Pierre-August Renoir and Frédéric Bazille, joined regiments outside of the capital, while Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro fled the country just in time. In the aftermath, these artists developed a newfound sense of the fragility of life. That feeling for transience―reflected in Impressionism's emphasis on fugitive light, shifting seasons, glimpsed street scenes, and the impermanence of all things―became the movement's great contribution to the history of art. At the heart of it all is a love story; that of Manet, by all accounts the father of Impressionism, and Morisot, the only woman to play a central role in the movement from the start. Smee poignantly depicts their complex relationship, their tangled effect on each other, and their great legacy, while bringing overdue attention to the woman at the heart of Impressionism

Si tenemos que contestar a la pregunta "¿cuál es el pintor más popular del siglo 19?", la mayoría nombraríamos a Cezanne, Manet o Van Gogh. Algunos dirían que fue Goya o Delacroix. Sin embargo, el más famoso de todos en aquellos años fue alguien al que hoy muy pocos conocemos: William-Adolphe Bouguereau. Por eso el Artesano; Pablo Ortiz de Zárate, nos explica qué ocurrió para al que los grandes pintores consideraban el maestro cayera en el olvido, pasara de moda. La lección de hoy fue Bouguereau y lo es para todos: una musa, no es solo una musa.

In Part 2 of our Impressionism series, we leave the floating world of Japan behind and step into the bustling studios, salons, and sun-drenched riverbanks of 19th-century France. This time, we meet the artists who dared to defy the rules (Monet, Morisot, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Cassatt) and the dealer, Paul Durand-Ruel, who bet everything on their vision. We'll explore how these painters broke with tradition to capture the modern world around them…and how their movement spread, against all odds, to American collectors, museums, and artists. ______ New episodes every month.

B.A. Shapiro's The Lost Masterpiece can be preordered on Amazon HERE.Berthe Morisot was a female Impressionist painter active in Paris during the second half of the 19th century. She exhibited her work alongside famed Impressionist artists Monet, Degas, and Renoir, among others, and was the only woman to be included in the first major show of Impressionist art in 1874. Despite the many limitations she faced as a female artist of her time, Morisot established herself as an integral member of the Impressionist group. She also modeled for a number of paintings by Manet, and though she was married to his brother, many believe that Manet and Morisot were engaged in a long-run secret affair.B.A. Shapiro is a New York Times best selling author. In 2013, she was awarded the New England Book Award for Fiction for her novel, The Art Forger. Over her impressive career as an author, she has written both novels and screenplays, as well as a non-fiction self help book. Be sure to follow ArtMuse on Instagram & TikTok.

Join me for conversation with Dr. Jaleh Mansoor (Associate Professor of Art History in the Department of Art History, Visual Art, and Theory, University of British Columbia) about her book Universal Prostitution and Modernist Abstraction: A Counterhistory (Duke University Press, 2025). Our discussion brought us to topics like the artists' muse, the modern laborer, and other figures precariously suspended between the object/subject dialectic. In Universal Prostitution and Modernist Abstraction, Dr. Mansoor provides a counternarrative of modernism and abstraction and a reexamination of Marxist aesthetics. Mansoor draws on Marx's concept of prostitution—a conceptual device through which Marx allegorized modern labor—to think about the confluences of generalized and gendered labor in modern art. Analyzing works ranging from Édouard Manet's Olympia and Georges Seurat's The Models to contemporary work by Hito Steyerl and Hannah Black, she shows how avant-garde artists can detect changing modes of production and capitalist and biopolitical processes of abstraction that assign identities to subjects in the interest of value's impersonal circulation. She demonstrates that art and abstraction resist modes of production and subjugation at the level of process and form rather than through referential representation. By studying gendered and generalized labor, abstraction, automation, and the worker, Mansoor shifts focus away from ideology, superstructure, and culture toward the ways art indexes crisis and transformation in the political economic base. Ultimately, she traces the outlines of a counterpraxis to capital while demonstrating how artworks give us a way to see through the abstractions of everyday life.

Today's episode is the first of three this week with the theatre director and writer Dominic Dromgoole, exploring revolutionary events in the world of art and theatre, starting with the opening of the Salon des Refusés in Paris in May 1863. How did the Emperor Napoleon end up sponsoring such a counter-cultural event? Why did it provoke such public outrage and astonishment? And in what ways did Manet's Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe revolutionise what was possible in the creation and consumption of modern art?

Nous sommes le 3 mars 1875, à Paris. C'est ce jour-là qu'est créée, sur la scène de l'Opéra-Comique, « Carmen », l'œuvre, en quatre actes, de Georges Bizet, l'un des compositeurs les plus reconnus de la période romantique, sur un livret d'Henri Meilhac et Ludovic Halévy, adapté d'une nouvelle de Prosper Mérimée. L'action se passe à Séville et dans ses environs, au début du XIXe siècle. Carmen, qui exerce l'activité de cigarière (elle fabrique des cigarettes à la main), est une jeune bohémienne a l'âme fougueuse. Elle séduit les hommes et provoque des bagarres. Emprisonnée, elle promet son amour au brigadier Don José afin s'évader. Mais une fois libre, elle oublie le soldat et tombe sous le charme du torero Escamillo. « Carmen » est bien une histoire d'amour et de sang. Aujourd'hui, l'opéra de Bizet est l'un des plus joués au monde. A l'époque de sa création, la réception fut mitigée : une partie de la critique et du public relevèrent son côté scabreux. On commente abondamment les femmes fumant la cigarette sur les planches, la représentation d'un monde de la corrida aussi festif que mortifère, un homme tuant son ancienne maîtresse sous les yeux des spectatrices et des spectateurs, la profusion et la richesse des décors et des costumes qui offrent une vision, à la fois, fantasmée et réaliste de l'Espagne. Et puis, on prend parti : pour ou contre Célestine Galli-Marié, interprète hors normes de la scandaleuse gitane, se déhanchant et amadouant les mâles, en jouant de son regard et de sa voix. Ainsi « Carmen » s'inscrit-elle dans l'histoire des arts et de leurs scandales retentissants, elle est imprégnée de la culture visuelle et littéraire de son temps où l'on croisent Manet, Courbet, Zola et Dumas. Quelles ont été les conditions de la naissance de l'opéra de Bizet ? Peut-on reconstituer les images vues par le public des années 1870 ? En quoi l'œuvre est-elle une rupture dans la manière de raconter les histoires sur scène ? Revenons, aujourd'hui, à Carmen … Avec les Lumières de : Hervé Lacombe, professeur de musicologie à l'Université Rennes 2. « Carmen à sa création – Une andalouse âpre et fauve » ; Actes Sud.

Follow me aboard bus 164 as I venture to Argenteuil, the picturesque suburb that captivated Impressionist painters like Monet, Caillebotte, and Manet. While heading to a kung-fu competition, I discover the scenic routes along the Seine where Claude Monet lived for five years and created dozens of masterpieces. I share glimpses of the famous Argenteuil bridge that still stands today while appearing in museums worldwide, and my excitement to visit Monet's house with its recreated boat-studio. This episode explores practical French vocabulary about movement with the versatile verb "passer" and the essential pronoun "y". Perfect for intermediate French learners passionate about art history who want to experience authentic everyday French beyond Paris's tourist sites. www.onethinginafrenchday.com  

Benmont Tench is the keyboardist and a founding member of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. That's reason enough to listen to this podcast. I've interviewed other icons—Duff McKagan, Johnny Marr, and Jerry Harrison, to name a few—and they all have one common thread: a voracious appetite for art in all its forms. They consume books, movies, paintings, poetry, sculptures, you name it. Artists with longevity know that to create art, you have to constantly consume it.Tench is no exception. “The more I read, the more chance I have to get inspired because I'm opening myself up to language. But I'm inspired by all art; I'm even inspired by looking out the window. It all comes in, and it all shows up in my writing,” he says.  When I asked Tench if he favors any certain medium, his response was simple: “From Milton to Milton Bradley.” He's also the first songwriter I've interviewed to cite both Manet and the Steve Martin movie Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid as inspiration.Tench's solo album The Melancholy Season is out now. Send us a text

8/8: Paris in Ruins: Love, War, and the Birth of Impressionism Hardcover – September 10, 2024 by  Sebastian Smee  (Author) 1870 PARIS  https://www.amazon.com/Paris-Ruins-Love-Birth-Impressionism/dp/1324006951/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.0LrrcogTAXmGjiJTXHGqcmh6tG316iU_qBRT5krAjbY8X2w9audnxQy7kzk7OLkh_2lSbQ2ybUZGAqxzqsV7SIXXh__kEnq4cHn6QdDz3Vu5xuCtROqvHYC4bnq-Wd16OQ0xBFKI0YF5Q12M2HxhsXNW0KzxEvl3JkXmjEm-lB835FTP4AOXbZmDkXRwFFwP8JAim1mTpk-tRD1mx2eyRyT4izNxH2zOMi6vWoub4fk.sBKL5PJ8cK_YQQ9SXWo2jUROfRmEzorpra10Qr1m--0&dib_tag=se&qid=1739487181&refinements=p_27%3ASebastian+Smee&s=books&sr=1-1 From the summer of 1870 to the spring of 1871, famously dubbed the “Terrible Year” by Victor Hugo, Paris and its people were besieged, starved, and forced into surrender by Germans―then imperiled again as radical republicans established a breakaway Commune, ultimately crushed by the French Army after bloody street battles and the burning of central Paris. As renowned art critic Sebastian Smee shows, it was against the backdrop of these tumultuous times that the Impressionist movement was born―in response to violence, civil war, and political intrigue. In stirring and exceptionally vivid prose, Smee tells the story of those dramatic days through the eyes of great figures of Impressionism. Édouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, and Edgar Degas were trapped in Paris during the siege and deeply enmeshed in its politics. Others, including Pierre-August Renoir and Frédéric Bazille, joined regiments outside of the capital, while Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro fled the country just in time. In the aftermath, these artists developed a newfound sense of the fragility of life. That feeling for transience―reflected in Impressionism's emphasis on fugitive light, shifting seasons, glimpsed street scenes, and the impermanence of all things―became the movement's great contribution to the history of art. At the heart of it all is a love story; that of Manet, by all accounts the father of Impressionism, and Morisot, the only woman to play a central role in the movement from the start.

As renowned art critic Sebastian Smee shows, it was against the backdrop of these tumultuous times that the Impressionist movement was born―in response to violence, civil war, and political intrigue. In stirring and exceptionally vivid prose, Smee tells the story of those dramatic days through the eyes of great figures of Impressionism. Édouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, and Edgar Degas were trapped in Paris during the siege and deeply enmeshed in its politics. Others, including Pierre-August Renoir and Frédéric Bazille, joined regiments outside of the capital, while Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro fled the country just in time. In the aftermath, these artists developed a newfound sense of the fragility of life. That feeling for transience―reflected in Impressionism's emphasis on fugitive light, shifting seasons, glimpsed street scenes, and the impermanence of all things―became the movement's great contribution to the history of art. At the heart of it all is a love story; that of Manet, by all accounts the father of Impressionism, and Morisot, the only woman to play a central role in the movement from the start. Smee poignantly depicts their complex relationship, their tangled effect on each other, and their great legacy, while bringing overdue attention to the woman at the heart of Impressionism

"PREVIEW: PARIS: Art critic Sebastian Smee, author of 'Paris in Ruins,' explores the birth of Impressionism during the Franco-Prussian War and the complex relationship between Édouard Manet and Berthe Morisot. More tonight." 1871 Commune

"PREVIEW: Conversation with art critic Sebastian Smee, author of 'Paris in Ruins,' about Berthe Morisot, the first female Impressionist and muse to the movement's founding artists, including Édouard Manet. More later this week." 1870s, Barthe Morisot by Edqard Manet.

Last weekend, warnings to evacuate were issued to the suburban westside neighborhood of Brentwood, which includes the esteemed Getty Center, home to one of the city's most prized art collections. After more than a week of burning, L.A.'s devastating wildfires, which began on January 7, are still not fully contained, forcing ongoing evacuation orders around the coastal city. It is the worst fire event in L.A.'s history and has taken 24 lives. As part of the Getty Trust, the museum features European paintings, including Van Gogh's Irises, and works by Rembrandt, Monet, Manet, and Peter Paul Rubens. It also houses Greek, Roman, and Etruscan art from the Neolithic to Late Antiquity—some of which is partially held at its second campus, the Getty Villa. Days before the threat of fire reached the museum's main venue over the weekend, the Villa was already grappling with the Palisades blaze, which ended up destroying or damaging around 4,000 structures and spreading over 23,000 acres. As the fires raged around Los Angeles, intensified by strong winds, media imagery circulating online showed brush burning around the Getty Villa in the Palisades. This prompted panic about the security of the collection. The institution, however, has long billed itself as a highly fire-safe institution. Built in 1997, the Getty Center has been described as “a marvel of anti-fire engineering.” Throughout the last week, its team has worked tirelessly to defend the property and has communicated daily about the safety and security of its sites. Unfortunately, many other properties—including thousands of homes, businesses, and smaller cultural institutions—have been destroyed. Many cultural workers, collectors, and gallerists are among those who lost their homes, and artists' homes and studios—including entire bodies of work and archives—have been irretrievably lost. The extent of livelihoods destroyed in Los Angeles is truly heartbreaking. We will link to resources in the show notes where you can find out how to help. We also have a story on our website providing frequent updates on the state of the cultural scene. This week, the J. Paul Getty Trust and a coalition of local and international cultural institutions announced a $12 million emergency relief fund for members of the Los Angeles arts community affected by the wildfires. Katherine E. Fleming, president and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust, joins me on The Art Angle to discuss her experience of the wildfires, the Getty's state-of-the-art prevention protocols for its valuable art, and what the fires mean for Los Angeles' cultural scene as it eventually seeks to rebuild.

¿Qué le diremos a Jesús el día que termina el año? Lo que cada uno tenga en su corazón, pero no olvidemos ser agradecidos. ¿No eran diez los curados?, preguntó, dolido, el Señor. Hemos recibido un diluvio de gracias, y cada uno tendrá conciencia de ellas. Pero no dejemos de agradecer las Misas y las comuniones que recibimos. Y volver a la consideración del a caducidad del tiempo y de la permanencia del amor.

For our last show of Season 6, it's an ode to winter. A winter of whimsical skaters on frozen London rivers, of Japanese villages buried in snow—a winter that barely exists anymore, if it ever really did. It's the winter of art and literature, where the snow is always pure and plentiful, and beauty and metaphor matter most—a “wintry mix” we can all appreciate. A special announcement: Our first-ever live show will be January 23 at our home museum, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, at 6 p.m. The show is free, but seating is limited and tickets are required. Get tickets online starting December 23 at 9:30 a.m. by going to at artsmia.org, clicking on the tickets tab, and scrolling to The Object LIVE! Presented by Ameriprise Financial. The show will feature live music, quizzes, and a taping of the podcast itself—all about Édouard Manet and his Impressionist friends and frenemies, on his 193rd birthday. More information at https://new.artsmia.org/event/the-object-live-presented-by-ameriprise-financial A standout winter painting (and recent addition to Mia's collection) is this Winter Landscape by the Finnish painter David Johannes Niemelä, from 1909: https://collections.artsmia.org/art/145286/winter-landscape-david-johannes-niemelae If you need a refresher on the Little Ice Age or its art, almost surreal in both its recency and its sights, here's the quick and icy: https://fiveminutehistory.com/20-amazing-winter-paintings-from-the-little-ice-age/

In Mickalene Thomas' work, Black women are front and center. "We've been supportive characters for far too long," she says. "I would describe my art as radically shifting notions of beauty by claiming space." Her new exhibition of collages, paintings, and photographs is called All About Love. She spoke with Tonya Mosley about how she "draws with scissors," using her mother as a muse, and her reinterpretation of Manet.
