Cocktails with a Curator: Rosalba Carriera's Portraits


In this week’s “Cocktails with a Curator,” Deputy Director and 
Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator Xavier F. Salomon celebrates 
Women’s History Month by examining two exquisite pastels 
by Rosalba Carriera that recently entered the collection 
through a bequest from Alexis Gregory and are on view 
for the first time on the third floor of Frick Madison. 
Celebrated for her technically innovative pastel portraits, 
Rosalba was one of the most famous artists of 18th-century Italy, 
particularly remarkable given the male-dominated society 
in which she lived. 

This week’s complementary cocktail is the Vesper Martini.

To view these paintings in detail, please visit our website: https://www.frick.org/rosalbaportraits

The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade: Crash Course Black American History #1


Important Historical Work from Clint Smith:

Today we're learning about the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, which brought millions of captive Africans to the Americas between the 16th and 19th centuries, with the largest number of people trafficked between 1700 and 1808. We'll look at the ships and crews that brought enslaved people across the ocean via what was known as the Middle Passage and explore the horrific conditions that these captives endured.   Watch our videos and review your learning with the Crash Course App!

New Dawn, New Day (And FREE Art)

 


Gregg Chadwick
New Dawn - Greenwich Village
9"x6"gouache and ink on paper 2021
                                                                                        

Nina Simone’s iconic version of Feeling Good plays as I put the last touches on my final painting for the We Rise L.A. project.


Nina sings:

“It's a new dawn

It's a new day

It's a new life

For me

And I'm feeling good I'm feeling good”


My gouache (opaque watercolor) and ink artworks on paper, explore morning light, morning life, and the hope engendered by the dawn of a new day. Sourced from my memories of travel, these paintings reflect morning journeys, rituals, and routines.

In partnership with We Rise LA for Mental Health Awareness, I have created 41 works of art as messages of hope, beauty, wellbeing, and self-compassion.


Nina sings:

“Oh, freedom is mine And I know how I feel It's a new dawn

It's a new day

It's a new life”
