October 15, 2024

Happy Tuesday! For your morning dose of exquisite painting, we offer reviews of Chitra Ganesh’s multiverse-hopping feminist figuration and Aliza Nisenbaum’s forcefields of community.

For your helping of scientific art, a delightful finding proves what van Gogh enthusiasts have always known: “The Starry Night” is a wonder in more ways than one. Read Rhea Nayyar’s report on a study that details how the iconic painting’s eddies of wind followed the laws of physics before they were even discovered.

More for you to chew on below, including Ed Simon on Holbein the Younger’s relationship with death, an exhibition on Black menswear across history at The Met, and the Jeff Koons-Squarespace partnership nobody asked for. Bon appetit!
