Historical image of Carlos Cruz-Diez
His influence was immense. Artists like Carlos Cruz-Diez built upon his work. Major exhibitions at MoMA cemented his legacy. #Influence #MuseumOfModernArt
Given this week’s news about Leon Black’s impending deposition, it is well past time the Museum of Modern Art in New York City remove him from the board. #museumofmodernart #momanyc #nycmuseums #nyc #newyorkcityart #artmuseum #museum
The horrific allegations against one of the Museum of Modern Art's trustees must be addressed, not ignored. Leon Black must be removed. #museumofmodernart #moma #museum #epsteinfiles

In 1937, when Peruvian Artist José Sabogal made this work in oil on wood, he was already a leading figure in Peru’s Indigenist movement as an artist, educator, and writer who helped reshape how Indigenous people were represented in modern art. Rather than casting his sitter as picturesque or peripheral, “Cholita Ayacuchana” foregrounds dignity as the subject by rendering a young woman with composure, weight, and psychological presence. That choice mattered in a cultural landscape where Indigenous highland communities were routinely marginalized or flattened into stereotype. The painting’s restraint strengthens its argument. By stripping away narrative setting and meeting us with an unwavering gaze, Sabogal turns portraiture into a claim for recognition and an insistence that modernity, too, must include the people it has historically pushed to the edges. Painted in a crisp, square format, this portrait centers a young Indigenous Andean girl seated on the ground against a plain, warm tan background. She turns three-quarters toward us, drawing one knee close and clasping her hands around her shin with fingers interlaced, knuckles and tendons carefully modeled. A wide-brimmed straw hat crowns her head, its pale top and darker band catching light. Beneath it, her long black hair falls in two thick, cascading braids. Her face is earthy greens, tans, and browns, with deeper shadows along the cheekbones and jaw. She looks straight out at us with a steady, self-possessed gaze that’s calm, direct, and unflinching. A loose white blouse softens at the sleeves and shoulder, while a deep blue-black skirt spreads in heavy folds across the lower half of the image, absorbing light into velvety darkness. The background stays deliberately unadorned so we focus on the eoman, her clothing, and the geometry of hat brim, braids, bent knee, and clasped hands. The simplified planes and strong contours make her feel close and present, as if the painting is less a scene than an encounter.

There is parts of the museum of modern art on the bottom with a water tower on one of the rooftops. The sky is cloudy and in monochrome.

In this emblematic self-portrait, a pregnant Paula Modersohn–Becker stares out at us with a steady gaze. She holds two flowers, symbols of fertility, in her left hand. Her right hand rests on her swelling belly. Modersohn-Becker began painting in 1893, when she was just 16 years old. In her short career, and despite considerable barriers to women artists, she became a pioneering figure of the early 20th-century German avant-garde. She produced landscapes, still lifes, and domestic scenes, but it was portraits of women and girls that most fully occupied her artistic imagination. She also made self-portraits, in countless variations. At a time in Europe when women were expected to be wives and mothers first, she worked professionally as an artist, painting herself and other women in a way that upended cultural standards of femininity and avoided idealization and conventional beauty. By 1906, Modersohn-Becker had begun painting life-sized nudes. She rejected the overtly eroticized nudes of artists like Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse as she sought to reinvent the representation of women in European art history. Her most radical step was in taking herself as a subject, likely becoming the first modern woman artist to have painted nude self-portraits, and, as in “Self-Portrait with Two Flowers in Her Raised Left Hand,” to have painted herself pregnant. She was also one of the first German artists to experiment with the audacious color and simplified forms of modernism and to pursue the emotional charge such distortions might provoke. “Personal feeling,” she wrote, “is the main thing.” This would be one of her last paintings. The same year she completed it, she passed away due to complications just 20 days after giving birth to a daughter on November 2, 1907. She was 31 years old. The self-portrait s audacious palette, stark composition, and psychological depth reflect Modersohn–Becker's position as a pivotal link between Fauvism and German Expressionism.

My favorite artworks from the #MuseumofModernArt in New York from my trip this week, especially as a former art student and current ARG creator.
Starting with “Closed Circuit” by Lutz Bacher. 1997-2000.

Mexican artist Frida Kahlo cut her hair short a month after her 1939 divorce from fellow Mexican artist Diego Rivera, and she painted this self-portrait soon after. Here she depicted herself wearing an oversized charcoal men’s suit and crimson dress shirt -- possibly Rivera’s -- instead of one of a traditional Mexican dress that she is often shown wearing. Her masculine haircut and garments contrast with her delicate, dangling earrings and petite high-heeled black shoes. Kahlo holds a pair of scissors in one hand and a lock of hair in the other, and her shorn tresses seem to slither and writhe around her. Above the scene, accompanied by a sequence of musical notes, are lyrics from a Mexican folk song that, when translated, read: “Look, if I loved you it was because of your hair. Now that you are without hair, I don’t love you anymore.” For some, Kahlo may have made this portrait to mourn the absence of her ex-husband, who had been unfaithful (and whom she would remarry by the end of 1940). For others, this image is a declaration of Kahlo’s self-reliance and independence. Though many Surrealists adopted Frida Kahlo as one of their own, the painter maintained that she did “not know if my paintings are Surrealist or not, but I do know that they are the most frank expression of myself.” She produced numerous self-portraits, each one an articulation of different facets of herself and her eventful life. Rivera had always admired her long, dark hair, which, as she indicates in the tresses littering the painting, she had cut off after their split. Through such emotionally and symbolically charged details, Kahlo expresses her feelings about her relationship with Rivera, while also asserting her sense of self as an independent artist. Personal isolation -- its pain and its strength -- is a recurring force across the 60 self-portraits Kahlo painted. “I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone,” Kahlo once explained, “because I am the person I know best.”
