There is a fab new book out about the 2022 polychromy exhibition at the Met. It underscores 38 scholars who are the 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 experts in polychromy today. Coming out of polychromy retirement to review _Chroma: Sculpture in Color from Antiquity to Today_ for @hyperallergic.com (edited by Natalie Haddad).
How White Elites Drained Ancient Art of Its Color
The publication of “Chroma” represents an important shift by museums toward recognizing polychromy and its entanglement with white supremacy.

Public comment on Dr Oz's proposed rules to ban gender-affirming care for youth closes 2/17

Vittorio Carpaccio, Vision of St. Augustine, 1502, Tempera on canvas, 141 x 210 cm (Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni, Venice). St. Augustine, at work in his well appointed study, is interrupted by the voice of the just-deceased St. Jerome. And so is his little dog.
