"I think many of us working alone at home right now can identify with Gustave Courbet’s painting Isolated Rock (ca. 1862). Windswept clouds, a stony shoreline, and the singular rock, roughly yet beautifully painted with a palette knife, make for a melancholy image that evokes feelings of helplessness and inevitability in the face of natural forces. These days, however, I’m choosing to give Courbet’s painting a more hopeful (and very anthropomorphic) spin by imagining this magnificent, solitary rock facing the sea, sky, and future with strength and determination."

Repost #cooperhewitt This transporting textile is titled The Golden Mountain. ⁣ ⁣#yellow #rehabiliterlejaune #jaune #amarillo #lydiabushbrown Dated 1926-59, it is the vision of Lydia Bush-Brown, a widely-traveled artist who conjured idealized representations of landscapes in her silk murals.⁣ ⁣ Her expressionistic approach to color, such as the lilac hue of the foliage, enhances the overall dreamlike effect.⁣ ⁣ Speaking on why she preferred working in silk, Bush-Brown stated, "Silk to me is the ideal foundation for murals for our modern homes. It fits into all types of homes, from the simplest to the most luxurious, is easy to transport, hangs gracefully and is capable of taking any color scheme desired.”⁣ ⁣ #MuseumMomentOfZen #MuseumFromHome #5WomenArtists #Batik #Textile https://www.instagram.com/p/CAM3k__B8cp/?igshid=ayscujrajh3g

Reposted from @brooklynmuseum "One of my favorite works in the Museum’s collection is this soothing, yet expressive, painting by the artist Ed Clark, which was exhibited in Soul of A Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power. Painted from 1978-1980, Clark used his signature technique of moving paint across the canvas with a janitor’s push broom instead of a paintbrush. The use of a broom, creating thick bands of color, imbues a sense of movement and monumentality to the work. For me, the painting conjures the image of a sunset—something I look forward to watching each night during quarantine." — @julia_mellor, Assistant Manager, Special Events #ArtfortheSociallyDistanced ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Ed Clark (American, 1926-2019).

The @rubinmuseum Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room has always been a place of reflection and refuge in Manhattan. Now the #rubinmuseum shares that anyone can bring the meditative sights and sounds of the Shrine Room into her/his home. Let’s #StayCalmStayHome Be safe, and be in touch. Visit the link at the Rubin Museum IG bio for a 2-hour-long stream of the Shrine Room featuring the meditative chants and flickering lights we’d encounter in person as museum’ members. ‪#CulturalAmbassadorRUTA @rutamex68 ‬ #MuseumFromHome #EngageWithChange __________ #MuseumMomentofZen #ArtForTheSociallyDistanced #NYCCulture2Go #Meditation #Mindfulness #Relaxation #NYCMuseums Posted @withregram • [ #IdeaTherapy ] Evolving with you! #IDEAcatalyst sharing #CultureShifting facts #IdeaTherapy #TrekkerATLAS #TRAVELengram #DigiBITACORA | #Newness #GloCal #Message #PoNgAtravel (at Rubin Museum of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-SBJfVjjXQ/?igshid=10wt2b32qvbp8
