The first thing that came to mind when I looked at Magali Lara’s 1990 “Y entonces escuché el fuego” (“And then I heard the fire”) was the art of J.M.W. Turner. The painting, part of the artist’s survey Stitched to the Body at the Institute for Studies on...
In Caryl Churchill’s short play Imp, which ran at the Public Theater through May 25, an older British woman is soothed by the belief that she has an imp, or a mischievous spirit, trapped in a corked bottle. That belief gives her comfort, as her life in her armchair is...
CHICAGO — The history of art, stated curator Jonathan D. Katz, “is both the world’s largest archive of the history of sexuality and its least tapped.” This may be a good place to begin to unpack the immense, important, ambitious, challenging, and intellectual...
Few of Japan’s great photographers had a career as bold and multifaceted as Masahisa Fukase. Though largely defined by his black and white magnum opus Ravens (1986), a book of photographs in which the photographer casts himself as the grim black bird, Fukase managed...
SAN FRANCISCO — Ruth Asawa’s infant son, Paul, lies on a blanket in a tender ink drawing entitled “Untitled (FF.1234, Paul Lanier on a Blanket)” (c. 1962–63). Paul takes up just a small portion of the overall composition, his clothing rendered through hatch marks that...
A documentary can sometimes tell a viewer more about the time it was made than the one it recounts. This holds especially true for films about the Renaissance, which has been so meticulously covered that new revelations are farther and fewer between. The three-part...

Some summer days while I was in high school, my dad would give me a $20 bill, and I would take the train into the city for a drop-in life drawing class at the Art Students League of New York in Midtown. I wasn’t a very good student. Half the time, I’d pocket the money...
Along a wall of framed pen and marker drawings in Chloe Dzubilo, The Prince George Drawings at Participant Inc. is a text work that simply reads: “Stronger than life itself @ this point.” Invoking strength in the face of adversity can read as an empty cliché, but...
Julia Margaret Cameron and Jane Austen are both luminaries of the 19th century who explored the inner lives of women in their respective fields, photography and fiction. The legacies of these two trailblazing British women converge with the Morgan Library &...
