Jacques Poirier (1928–2002) was a French master painter who lived in Paris near Saint-Germain-des-Prés. His mother was a painter so he claimed with irony that he always sniffed turpentine between breastfeeds. He joined the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 1945. Poirier came to painting quite late after a successful career as an illustrator. His paintings were done in the realist trompe-l'œil style with a mastery and a poetry rarely seen in this genre. He became a member of "Trompe-l'œil and Reality", the group of realist painters created by Henri Cadiou. His good friend Pierre Gilou shared in a comment how Poirier was quickly accepted in the group back in 1970.

hey, museum folks. on April 16, the ceiling in the library at Boscobel House collapsed unexpectedly

Before the collapse.

This New York mansion from 1806 was saved AFTER demolition in the 1950s, when the architectural elements were recovered and reassembled in another location near its original site. It's of great artistic and historical significance, not the least because the staff has been working on a project to document the lives of the family's Black servants- the ones who were free when hired, and the ones who had been enslaved by said family and freed before the house was finished -since 2020

if anyone can donate even a little bit to help with the recovery efforts, here is the link
