Today we have reviews of a Matisse and Renoir show in Philadelphia and a new exhibition by South African artist Gavin Jantjes at London’s Whitechapel Gallery, plus Rea McNamara’s reflections on the links between mothering and technological surveillance. You can also try your hand at this month’s Mini Art crossword, and more.
