"Louise Nevelson at Jewish Book Fair brunch gathering, millionaire patron's Park Avenue Apartment, November 9, 1986 -- I'd never met her before, she took me home to Mott Street in a stretch limousine hired for her, showed me her studio, gave me her autobio book signed, never saw her again.

Repost #metmuseum #carmenherrera “When you’re known, you want to do the same thing again to please people. And, as nobody wanted what I did, I was pleasing myself, and that’s the answer.”⁣ ⁣ Today we're celebrating the incomparable #CarmenHerrera, who turns 105! ✨ ⁣ ⁣ Herrera, who sold her first work when she was 89, has been a groundbreaking figure in geometric abstract painting since the 1940s—marking arguably the longest sustained investigation of the medium.⁣ ⁣ Herrera was the first artist to use acrylic paint in Europe, and this lyrical, dynamic composition—created during her crucial formative period in Paris—is an early demonstration of her use of this new material.⁣ ⁣ 🎨 Carmen Herrera (Cuban, 1915).

RG @metmuseum This work was made by a refugee. 👆 In 1941, Dutch-born abstract paint Piet Mondrian fled Europe for New York. ⁣ ⁣ In honor of #WorldRefugeeDay tomorrow, Thursday, June 20, we've partnered with @theirc to highlight works of art at The Met made by refugees and to consider what would be lost from the Museum without their contributions. We're sharing these works here—and you can, too. Join us tomorrow in saying "Thank you, refugees" by sharing a work of art made by a refugee that speaks to you and tagging @metmuseum and @theIRC. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🎨 Piet Mondrian (Dutch, 1872–1944). Composition, 1921. Oil on canvas. Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection, 1998. #TheMet #MetModern https://www.instagram.com/p/By6SHjPnLzx/?igshid=1q97z4imd233w
