Read about The Metropolitan Museum of Art's ongoing exhibition "Unfinished: Thoughts Left Visible" on view The Met Breuer through Sept 4. Excerpt from our latest blog post: "Rembrandt is said to have stated “A work is complete if in it the master’s intentions have been realized.” And Matisse claimed that a work of his is finished “when it represents my emotion very precisely and when I feel that there is nothing more to be added.” George Romney sent his self-portrait as a gift to his friend William Hayley “as is.” Alice Neel signed her portrait of James Hunter on the back, declaring it finished. In these two cases at least, the artists recognized that the portrait was finished in terms of their artistic aims, whether or not its technique was perfectly finished in the academic sense. And this is the key to why so many of the portraits in the preceding galleries seem to me to be “finished.” They have achieved the artistic object of portraiture—to capture the sitter in some essential way."—Champ Knecht, Deputy Director for Administration at The Drawing Center Go to drawingcenter.org and click on the lower left circle for the full post. #MetUnfinished #MetBreuer @metmuseum Image: #AliceNeel, “James Hunter Black Draftee,” 1965.

#canitellyou my friend @hcraighanna dragged me uptown to the #metbreuer to see #metunfinished exhibit which I loved. So many grand masters works looked contemporary because they were unfinished. It's a #mustsee #onlyinnewyork (at The Met Breuer)

@Regrann from @metmuseum - "[The exhibition] illuminates the process of both making and looking at art in remarkable ways." —@nytimes on “Unfinished: Thoughts Left Visible,” on view at The #MetBreuer through September 4. Beginning with the Renaissance masters, this scholarly and innovative exhibition examines the term "unfinished" in its broadest possible sense, including works left incomplete by their makers, which often give insight into the process of their creation, but also those that partake of a “non finito”—intentionally unfinished—aesthetic that embraces the unresolved and open-ended.
