Venice Diary Day 3: The Biennale’s Best Pavilions Capture the Absurdity of Art in this Moment
via artnews.comI have a favorite pavilion—if you’ll permit me a superlative, despite not having seen every single one.

A Flemish ‘paintrix’ at the court of Elizabeth I, a magnificent mouth artist and a glamorous suffragette are finally given their due in a show tracing female artists’ rocky road to recognition. But the story too often takes precedence over the artMary Delany (1700-88) was a witty memoirist of 72 when she in effect invented the paper collage in Britain. Noticing the affinity between a geranium and a scrap of red paper, she took her scissors and cut a petal f -

I’m passionate about the future of Glasgow School of Art’s glorious Mackintosh building, not just its past | Rowan Moore

Too bald, too mad, too red … How royal portraits get it so wrong
via theguardian.comJonathan Yeo’s divisive painting of the king raises the question of whether paintings of the monarchy have become irrelevant and anachronisiticWhy do reports always say that a portrait of someone great and good has been “unveiled”?
