Finally getting to read/see Alexander Cozens' 1786 "A New Method of Assisting the Invention in Drawing Original Compositions of Landscape", along with all the accompanying daring plates that demonstrate the imaginative technique of blotting, at the Beinecke Library.

What a pleasure to study William Blake's unique illustrations for Thomas Gray's poem "The Bard" at the YCBA. Blake inserted the printed text into a cutout in the centre of a larger sheet of watercolor paper, an absolutely novel way of approaching the relationship between text and image.

What a joy to study all the material on epistemic images in the New Haven Medical Library. Many thanks to Laura Phillips, curator for the visual arts, for showing me the library and for the great conversation about scientists as artists.

What an intimate and truthful portrait by John Wilson of his brother, painted in 1942. On display at the great exhibition 'Witnessing Humanity: The Art of John Wilson' at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

„Museums are places to hang out“: Mary Heilmann’s installation "Long Line" at the Whitney Museum, which faces the Hudson River and the surrounding cityscape, invites visitors to do exactly that.

Was hat ein Gemälde, das ein fröhliches Picknick zeigt mit sozialen Fragen am Übergang der Neuzeit zur Moderne zu tun? Elisabeth Fritz, stellvertretende Direktorin am DFK Paris, untersucht, wie man Bilder der Geselligkeit als Bilder von Gesellschaft verstehen kann.

Famously, between the first and the second act of Waiting for Godot, the only difference in the stage set is that a previously bare tree ‘has four or five leaves’. So what’s the main note to self I found in this copy which seems to have belonged to a stage manager called Nigel...?
