Jasper Johns was born today in 1930. Did you know he had a solo exhibition here in 1964?
Claude Dalsace, née Bloch, recalls what it was like to sit for the artist Edouard Vuillard. See the original painting in the exhibition Edouard Vuillard: A Painter and His Muses, 1890-1940
Today I had the privilege of working with Dara, Sonya and Hollie at an Access Workshop for people 18+. I’ve worked with this kind of group before, but today I went a little crazy making my own project alongside those who attended the workshop. We made our own papercut portrait background inspired by the Kehinde Wiley portraits in the museum. With just paper, scissors and dot paints, every person created a masterpiece and had their portrait taken. Here’s a photo of how my background looked when completed, I had so much fun making it!
P.S. One of the attendees remembered my name and who I was from a workshop two years ago - AMAZING!!
Now on View! Edouard Vuillard: A Painter and His Muses, 1890-1940

Today (April 28) in 1928: Artist Yves Klein was born in Nice, France.
Kehinde Wiley guides us through his current exhibition at the Jewish Museum. Wiley is known for his portraits of young men of color that evoke the sensibility of classical European painting. His newest series is called “The World Stage: Israel.” Now on view are 14 portraits displayed alongside pieces from the museum’s permanent collection that influenced these works.
Getting excited for our upcoming exhibition, Edouard Vuillard: A Painter and His Muses 1890-1940. Installation is well underway!
