Portrait of Madame X by John Singer Sargent. When the painting debuted, the right strap of Mme. Gautreau’s dress was falling off her shoulder. Scandal!

“Jazzcats Crossing the Hudson is an 1851 oil-on-canvas painting by German American artist Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze. It pre-emptively commemorates the arrival in New York City of jazz greats Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders, Steve Kuhn and others. The painting is remarkable for the fact that it was created decades before the birth of any of these jazz artists.”

Paris Kiosk by Jean Béraud. If you find yourself in Baltimore like I did a few weeks ago, I suggest you visit the Walters Art Museum. Not only is it cheap, but they’ve got cool stuff AND they’ve got a spectacular online collection so you can re-visit the ones you loved. I’ll be sharing a few of mine over the next few days.
A View of the Bombardment of Ft. McHenry. I was in Baltimore a few weeks ago and stopped by Fort McHenry (Star-Spangled Banner, etc.). This painting was one of my favorites, if only for the trails on the bombs.
