| A big, round zilch. That’s the amount that President Trump allocates to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino in his budget. If he has his way, the burgeoning DC museum would be dissolved along with the Anacostia Community Museum. But there’s some resistance in Congress, as our Staff Writer Isa Farfan reports.
Here in New York, community members brave the rain to celebrate the annual Brooklyn Pride festival. Our reporter Maya Pontone was there, with an umbrella.
Also today: a corrective exhibition looks beyond the “glamorous girl artist” stigma associated with Marisol; Susumu Shingu’s delicate kinetic sculptures come to NYC; and a new book explains how Matisse may have left Morocco, but Morocco never left Matisse. — Hakim Bishara, Managing Editor | | |

MEMBER COMMENT | | Alex Clark on “Do We Need to Vindicate Paul Gauguin?” | | Given that art history involves the history of human beings making art, it seems obvious that negative human behaviors exist in the arts alongside the benign, good, and inspiring. Picasso is an artist whose personality and behaviors (especially toward women) were repugnant and cruel. Still, I love much of his art production. Is this wrongheaded? I think it’s only human. |
