Happy Thursday! ☀️ Today, a look at a Nashville art space that was severely impacted by the December 25th suicide bombing, the story of a Kandinsky painting that will not be returned to the heirs of a Jewish collector, and were many Jewish artists left out of the Whitney Museum’s Vida Americana exhibition?

Last February, the Whitney Museum opened Vida Americana: Mexican Muralists Remake American Art, 1925–1945. The exhibition strived to rewrite art history “by revealing the profound impact the Mexican muralists had on their counterparts in the United States.”

But in reinscribing the Mexican muralists who were “written out” of American history, the curators of Vida Americana replaced one exclusion with another.
