Obligatory “It’s Christmas I just watched Love Actually it might be the greatest movie ever made I LOVE CHRISTMAS SO MUCH” post.
And to all a good night!
Some rather beautiful London Underground infographics from the early 1900’s.
Love these.
Amazing.
You know what’s wrong with this cover? Meryl, as one of the select Celestial Supreme Godesses™, does not need to be splashed with dirty seawater so that she can seem “down to earth”; she rises above the rest of us commoners in almost every single possible way, so it’s not like anybody would buy that anyway. If I had been styling this shoot, I would’ve literally put her a giant marble pedestal, found the most regal looking gowns I could get, and put six of them on her all at once. A real missed opportunity here, Vogue.

Color of 2012? Pantone picks orange as top hue
Oh, right — because that’s a color that’s flattering on everyone.
ACTUALLY YES. LOTS OF PEOPLE LOOK GOOD IN ORANGE.
I’m happy orange is getting the recognition it deserves. In case you can’t tell.

This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features MoMA curator Leah Dickerman, who has organized “Diego Rivera: Murals for the Museum of Modern Art.”
Rivera was a staunch communist and his murals include scathing critiques of American-style capitalism during The Great Depression — and of the Rockefeller family, which lavishly supported both MoMA and Rivera himself. The show — and the conversation I have with Dickerman — resounds with echoes of today’s American economic situation. [A detail from Rivera’s Agrarian Leader Zapata (1931) is both in this week’s MANPodcast.com banner. The complete artwork is above.]

In our conversation, Dickerman and I discuss:
How a trip to Italy helped Diego Rivera transition from second-rate cubist to first-rate muralist;
How Rivera became the second artist to receive a MoMA retrospective (after Henri Matisse) and how he made his MoMA murals in a Manhattan studio near the museum;
How Rivera expanded what seems to have been the initial project to include a biting look at income inequality and the plight of the working class in skyscraper-mad, Depression-era New York; and
How it is that Dickerman, who curated the anti-war “Dada” exhibition at the National Gallery of Art just as the Bush administration was pushing America to war in Iraq in 2006, repeatedly ends up curating modern exhibitions that speak to the present moment.
In this week’s draft, Indianapolis Museum of Art curator Lisa Freiman joins me to discuss which artists might represent the United States at the next Venice Biennale. The State Department is currently reviewing nominations for 2013. Freiman was the commissioner of the 2011 pavilion, at which the U.S. exhibited Allora and Calzadilla.
