Project Esther, inspirowany starotestamentową Esther, ma na celu przejęcie amerykańskiej edukacji wyższej i walkę z organizacjami wspierającymi Palestyńczyków. Prowadzi go znana historyczka sztuki, Victoria Coates. Czy twórczość artystyczna rzeczywiście stanowi doskonały symbol demokracji i wolności? Czy też widzimy, jak sztuka bywa wykorzystywana do wspierania ideologii i władzy? #ProjectEsther #ArtHistorian #FreedomInArt #artnews

@Kleen Thank you for the link. Finding Mavis Pusey’s work and spirit is a testament to the relentless efforts of curators and scholars. Despite the discouraging advice of a famous person about not needing more art historians, this Philadelphia exhibition offers a window into an important recent cultural context, as well as an engaging contemplative experience.

Trias-Building in #Leipzig

This Building was constructed from 2012 to 2014 and planned by the #architects Schulz & Schulz. Despite being a #contemporary structure the #design resembles the #1920s with its dominant cornices and #modernist curves. It’s a stark contrast to the surrounding houses, yet through sticking to the historic lot size the building forms a continuous #streetscape and creates a nice entrance to the #historic city centre.

#civilengineer and #ArtHistorian Wolfgang Hocquel draws a comparison to the #Flatiron #building in #newyork which you can see in the second picture (taken around 1903 and stored in the library of congress).

Exploring the depths of human adversity in Theodor de Bry's "Man schuilt voor een hagelstorm" #Rijksmuseum. Its potent realism vividly portrays harsh 1596 winters. Thoughts?

searching for historical #paintings that have word banners on them bc I like that sort of thing, and I know there has to be a word for and a million papers on them, but I am missing it.

So please, if you are an #artist, #artgenius, #arthistorian, or a #collector of terms for the very specific things that my limited brain keeps describing wrong to the search engine over and over again (#wordribbon #oilpainting #ancientthoughtballoon #informationbanner #oldoilpaintingmessages ?), help.
