Hard Truths: Can an Unsung Surrealist Rise from the Dead?

My great-grandfather made his living as a bookbinder in New York, but he was also a talented painter in the Surrealist vein. He had a few solo exhibitions and was in many group shows, including one at the Julien Levy Gallery, which specialized in Surrealist art. I’ve been told that he met André Breton, the founder of Surrealism, on a few occasions and had a correspondence with a -

Legacy Russell’s ‘Black Meme’ Critiques Representations of Black Culture—But Doesn’t Chart a Way Forward

Frank Stella’s Greatest Legacy Was as a Master Sadist

More than once, I’ve wondered that while standing before his 1959 painting Die Fahne hoch!, a rectangular abstraction that features four black forms, each of which are demarcated by unpainted lines of white that pulsate toward the center. The painting, for all its austerity, contains a bizarre kind of beauty. It also hides a secret: its title refers to a Nazi marching anthem.Stella is one of those artists who is constantly linked to a one-liner he once spoke. His -
