This #Juneteenth, we're sitting with a painting that asks what freedom really looks like. In "For Love, and for Country," #AmySherald re-imagines a famed photograph to feature two Black male sailors kissing, presenting a narrative rooted in freedom, queer-joy, and belonging.

Keith Haring's art impacted more than just gallery walls🖼️

Happy Birthday Ellsworth Kelly!! 🎂

Kelly's crisp & vibrant compositions have a commanding presence. Many of his works began with images that caught his eye: the outline of a windowsill, the contour of a leaf, the curve of a hill seen through a window. https://t.co/9dWIBiFcJh
