    Ithell Colquhoun, Alcove, 1946, Private Collection
    Ithell Colquhoun at the Tate: A Feminist Take on Surrealism

    Surrealism became the focus of many art institutions in 2024 in response to the 100th anniversary of the 1924 publication of Andre Breton’s (1896-1966) Surrealist Manifesto. Now, in a moment when female visionary artists like Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) and Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) are being rediscovered, Ithell Colquhoun (1906-1988) stands out.

    National Endowment for the Arts Terminates Arts-Supporting Grants

    This past Friday, the Trump administration issued a proposal to eradicate numerous arts-centered agencies from the federal budget.

    Funerary Temple of Hatshepsut, Luxor, Egypt
    Pharaoh Hatshepsut: Successful Ruler and Art Collector

    Pharaoh Hatshepsut (Hat-shep-soot) (c. 1505–1458 BC), who ruled Egypt over 3,500 years ago, commissioned art and architecture as a part of her leadership strategy. She was the wife of Pharaoh Thutmose II who ironically had fallen to the wayside of history due to the greater visibility of his more illustrious father, Thutmose I, and Hatshepsut. History rarely favors the wives of famous men.
