The catalog arrived yesterday. It is beautifully produced, thoughtful curation and essays. The exhibition in Madrid, two years ago, was the first retrospective of Shahn’s work since 1947.

Here's a nice review of the Ben Shahn exhibition currently up at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. We've got a couple of paintings on loan to it.

Ben Shahn’s Ever-Relevant Political Art

The American artist-activist’s work resonates with a special sharpness these days, more than half a century after his death.

Ben Shahn was one hell of a photographer.

Wanted to share an incredible piece of #publicArt that shaped my life – Ben Shahn's "The Passion of Sacco and Vanzetti". This remarkable #mosaic is on an outer wall of H.B. Crouse Hall at #SyracuseUniversity in #SyracuseNY. Sacco and Vanzetti were executed for murder on the flimsiest of evidence in 1927. I walked past this reminder of injustice every day for years.
