Trying this out to get a few more ARC readers for my new cozy book. It's a Good Omens style slice of life about a little girl who summons a demon to open a jar of tomato sauce.

& Gauguin #ForgetHim news.artnet.com/art-world/ga... Any better alternatives you know of? I've read people writing that 'galleries would be empty if #art was removed on moral grounds'. Strongly disagree, if the curator is any good at their jobs. It's not hard to find amazing art. I see it near-daily

Yet, I still have like 3 or 4 books on his work, each packed with photos of objects he acquired from Africa. He uses same techniques of these artists and craftspeople in his own work.

How f***ing DARE he. Who would you choose as African artists that everyone should know, past & present. Let's #CelebrateThem (need MUCH celebration to balance the nasty, pitiful excuses of humanity who've thrived for far too long. WAY too many big names were evil. & joy-led approach always best :-).

On top of his misogyny, I have books where Picasso was quoted as saying Africa has no art and no culture, even though he and others built their careers and entire art movements (cubism, etc) using African art as "inspiration".
Mais je déteste ça ! Chaque fois que j'y vais, je suis offensé par quelque chose dans le musée. J'ai vu des exemples où le texte du conservateur était assez raciste. 😂

Don't even get me started. Eff that guy.

And a local museum had a huge exhibit of his work and only called him "quirky" and "avant-garde". They totally ignored his antisemitism, racism, misogyny, and fascism — the reason he was expelled from Surrealists.

I was livid.
Dali was obsessed with Hitler and fascism.

"The letter from Dalí to Breton in 1935 presents Dalí's ideas and offers some insights into why he was expelled from the Surrealists in 1939. Breton kept the letter as evidence against him."

Breton was friends with Aimé Césaire, so he was not having it.

Important point raised by @ddwardiswriting.bsky.social. 1st we ensure everyone knows the shameful things abusers have done so their legacy reflects truth. Once honesty is restored, *then* we get them removed and replaced in galleries etc #ForgetHim #ForgetHer #ForgetThem. Then celebrate replacements
Don't forget them. Scar their legacies with the truth. Tie their names inescapably to their abuses. Make their names as synonymous with abuse as Lovecraft's name is with racism.

We must #ForgetHim, & #ForgetHer where female artists have done the same, & #ForgetThem for others. It's not about gender. It's about people who harm. #Art matters. #Artists who abuse do not deserve recognition. We need to #MakeSpace for new art. Given #aesthetics is subjective, abuse is best filter

WAY better use of colour, & that's just at first glance. Thanks so much. Really looking forward to learning more. Any other artists who deserve more recognition? Once we have an 'instead of this abuser promote this amazing person' list, I'll start raging at the arts spaces (as can anyone who agrees)

Death of the #Artist is complex. To me, there are MANY amazing #artists & (comparatively) few spaces for art. So why celebrate the same few artists again & again? Clear space for new art by forgetting the paedophiles, racists, fascists, abusers & otherwise pitiful people. They do not deserve acclaim
January 24, 2025 at 8:52 AM
I respect that opinion. Many things can be true at once even if they conflict. And #ForgetHim, #ForgetHer #ForgetThem is a simplification as hashtag. First, we give the shame back to them & destroy any 'honour' they've had/get them removed from galleries. THEN we forget them (I'm a survivor myself).
