Sylvia Sleigh is best-known for her realist and figurative paintings that reject the male gaze. A key figure in the New York feminist art scene, Sleigh challenged the art historical canon by creating paintings of men that referenced the erotic portrayals of women by western masters. The museum recently acquired this portrait of the artist’s friend Ira Joel Haber, which highlights the sitter’s discomfort and vulnerability. Now on view in “Present Tense: Recent Gifts of Contemporary Art.“

"MISSION: The mission of the National Arts and Disability Center (NADC) is to promote the full inclusion of audiences and artists with disabilities into all facets of the arts community.."

The mission of the the National Arts and Disability Center (NADC) is “to promote the full inclusion of audiences and artists with disabilities into all facets of the arts community. The NADC is a project of the Tarjan Center. The information, technical assistance, and evaluation services of the NADC aim to strengthen the capacity of the mainstream arts community to include artists and audiences with disabilities, and promote the professional development of artists with disabilities through access to educational, vocational and community activities, supports and networks” (NADC).

Given time constraints, I am unable to post the gallery in its entirety - but I love what I see - and I think many will share my sentiment. To view more AWESOMENESS & LOVELINESS, please visit the NADC Art Gallery.

Nancy Rourke is exceptionally talented. She is a Deaf Artist, a Deaf advocate and an influential member of De'VIA (Deaf View/Image Art), an art movement that represents “Deaf artists and perceptions based on their Deaf experiences.” Influenced by the works of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Jacob Lawrence, Rourke’s paintings possess this Neo-Expressionist je n'ais c'est quoi - the style is unique but identifiable; the themes unequivocal: Deaf Culture, Deafhood, Deaf Pride, American Sign Language (ASL) and Audism (to name a few).

My work has a centralized focus that makes a theme; resistance, affirmation and liberation art. I create words, images, colours and all of the construction that show blue tapes, yellow lights, hands, eyes, elephant, horse, strings, cracks, bandaids and so on. Primary colours are what I use. I also use monochrome for reinforcement. These elements make a big exposure to both Deaf and Hearing society. (Nancy Rourke’s Artist Statement)

Poissons, Ecrevisses et Crabes can lay claim to be being the earliest known publication in colour on fish, though many specimens seem to border on fantasy.

Henry Fuseli was a Swiss painter, draughtsman and writer on art who spent much of his life in Britain.

“Nature is a collective idea, and, though its essence exist in each individual of the species, can never in its perfection inhabit a single object.” Henry Fuseli (Feb 7, 1741 - Apr 16, 1825)

(via Vermeer: Master of Light (documentary))

Vermeer: Master of Light is a visual pilgrimage in search of what makes a Vermeer a Vermeer. It is a journey of discovery, guiding the viewer through an examination of three of Johannes Vermeer’s paintings and exploring the “secrets” of his technique. Utilizing the potential of x-ray analysis and infrared reflectography as well as the power of computer technology, the program delves beneath the surface of the paintings to unveil fascinating insights into Vermeer’s work. This film celebrates one of the most extraordinary painters in the history of art. Narrated by Meryl Streep, with commentary by Arthur Wheelock, curator of northern baroque paintings, National Gallery of Art, and David Bull, conservator. This compilation video combines all 5 parts of the Vermeer: Master of Light video podcast series. –The National Gallery of Art
