Darline Graham, R-S.C., in the race. She was sworn into the Senate earlier this week after GOP Gov. Henry McMaster appointed her to serve out the rest of the late senator’s term, just days after he died suddenly last weekend. On Friday, Trump urged Darline Graham to seek a full term in …

Seen by every president from Jimmy Carter to Donald Trump, these artworks were acquired by the White House Historical Association following a family dispute over ownership that led to their auction. The four 1940s-era sketches, titled “So You Want to See the President!”, depict a diverse array of individuals – including US senators, military personnel, journalists, and even a Miss America – waiting to see President Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War II in the West Wing reception area.

Quoting the World | Max Norman

From a distance, Eugène Atget’s photograph Environs, Amiens (circa 1897) appears to be an abstraction. It resolves as you approach into something like a craggy mountain peak or a mound of snow-covered rocks, but you have to get up close before the spotted triangular form in an ivory expanse comes into focus as a flock of birds perched atop the shingled roof of what must be a dovecote. One pokes its head out of a hole in the little door beneath the eaves. The tightly cropped picture, shot from below at a neck-straining angle, frames the building in perhaps the least intuitive way imaginable. Even Atget’s more familiar pictures of the deserted streets and shabby interiors of old Paris still breathe mystery a century after his death. They are blissfully unburdened by ideas or narratives or even a discernible style. Staircases snake off somewhere behind the cursive of wrought-iron banisters; crumbling statues and charismatic trees pass the time in parks; bouquets and wicker baskets sit frankly in storefronts and market stalls, there for the taking. …

Norman Rockwell Painting Acquired by the Art Institute of Chicago

Norman Rockwell Painting Acquired by the Art Institute of Chicago

Published by Jenni Sidey

On Tuesday, the Art Institute of Chicago announced its acquisition of a study for The Dugout (1948) by Norman Rockwell. Donated by former governor of Illinois Bruce Rauner and Diana Rauner, it will be the first work by that artist in the museum’s collection. A popular painter of American everyday life, Rockwell (1894–1978) is most famous for his cover illustrations for the Saturday Evening Post magazine, which published over 300 of his artworks between 1916 and 1963. This oil study depicts unhappy members of the Chicago Cubs following Chicago’s loss to the Boston Braves on May 23, 1948. Related Articles The finished painting (a watercolor) was reproduced on the cover of the Post that September. When it appeared in print, it sealed the reputation of the team—who finished the season at the bottom of the National League—as “lovable losers.” Rockwell regularly took reference photographs of his subjects before starting work; for The Dugout, Cubs pitcher Bob Rush, manager Charlie Grimm, catcher Al “Rube” Walker, and pitcher Johnny Schmitz all posed for him. The batboy was …

Norman Rockwell Was ‘Antifa,’ Says the Artist’s Granddaughter

Norman Rockwell Was ‘Antifa,’ Says the Artist’s Granddaughter

Published by Jenni Sidey

Norman Rockwell‘s art, with its quaint visions of small-town America, is today widely considered to be a force of conservatism, a call for things to remain the same even as everything changes. But according to the artist’s granddaughter, everyone has his art all wrong. “Norman Rockwell was antifa,” Daisy Rockwell told the Bulwark this week, for an article called “The MAGAfication of Norman Rockwell.” That headline is a reference to the Department of Homeland Security’s posts featuring Rockwell’s art over the summer. “Protect our American way of life,” read DHS’s caption, which accompanied a cropped version of Rockwell’s 1971 painting Salute the Flag, in which a crowd of white men, women, and children gaze admiringly at a tasseled American flag. Related Articles Quoting President Calvin Coolidge, known for his small-government conservatism, DHS also posted an edited version of Rockwell’s 1946 painting Working on the Statue of Liberty, in which a multiracial cast of workers can be seen tending to Lady Liberty’s torch. DHS urged readers to “protect your homeland” and “defend your culture.” The Rockwell …
