We're saddened to learn that over the weekend, artist Bill Viola passed away. He was a pioneer of video art, crucial to establishing the medium. For more than 40 years, Viola created work addressing life, death, and the intervening journey, rooted in both Eastern and Western art as well as in spiritual traditions. We're honored to have Viola's "Slowly Turning Narrative" as a part of our collection. Last on view in 2021, Slowly Turning Narrative offers Viola’s characteristically hypnotic sense of wonderment at the world and also reveals the fullness of his philosophical vision.

Gustav Klimt, born #onthisday in 1862, quickly became known as the foremost portraitist of Vienna's new upper class. Some of his most memorable works included the dazzling portraits of Vienna's leading socialites, like Adele Bloch-Bauer I. These portraits were so labor-intensive that he averaged only one per year after 1900. Each portrait required many sketches (several hundred in the case of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, on which he worked from 1904 to 1907.) Klimt's fine craftsmanship is evident in his use of real gold for a diffuse background, while in contrast, Adele's face stands out as an extraordinarily modern portrayal. Her hands are arranged gracefully to conceal a deformed finger, yet she remains elf-assured introspective, comporting herself as a woman of privilege devoted to the world of the intellect. [Gustav Klimt, Adele Bloch-Bauer I, 1907, 55 1/8 x 55 1/8 in., Oil, silvering and gilding on canvas]

Born #onthisday in 1884, Amedeo Modigliani's turbulent life often overshadows his legacy. Despite a childhood wrought by sickness and an adulthood plagued by addiction, Modigliani became one of the most significant artists of the 20th century. The artist passed away at age 35, virtually unknown outside of Parisian artist circles, and only achieved fame posthumously.
