On this day, 100 years ago, the Legion of Honor opened in San Francisco. It is a classically styled museum currently hosting "Manet & Moriset" Two French Impressionist friends that complemented each other's work.

I've been through the exhibit once, and plan to go again.

San Francisco’s top art museums announce layoffs as money and visitors dry up
screenshot from article: "Adding to the strain, museum leadership has long voiced concerns about the city’s permanent closure of a 1½-mile stretch of JFK Drive to car traffic, which eliminated over 140 nearby parking spaces and reduced ADA access. In 2022, Campbell noted that the closure had a clear impact on attendance."

I notice the de Young has been used as the main image for these stories, FAMSF has had its own share of scandals but are they connected to this one too?

#BayArea, The #FAMSF is showing it's annual #BouquetToArt . And this year the #LegionOfHonor is hosting part of the exhibit. Smaller venue, but smaller crowds.
Highly recommended!

Oh, by the way, there is a Wayne Theibaud exhibit as well. One of my favorite artists.

Any place in which James Panero's 'expertise' is offered as equivalent to that of a leading tapestry scholar, and the director of FAMSF and ex- the Met, is a fundamentally broken, even failed place.

You cannot predict when chance google operations—or a random art guy you follow on Bluesky—put The John Cage Kimono and an entire flop collection of artist-designed lingerie in front of you. But that moment is now.

Attention SF Bay Area!

Paul McCartney photographs has opened at the De Young. He did not take technically perfect pictures, but he definitely has an eye for what to photograph. It is an extensive collection of images from 1963-1965 of mostly B&W photographs.

PS: Ringo is a ham.

Portrait of Alicia Maria Carpenter, Later Countess of Egremont by Arthur Devis (English) - Oil on canvas / 1745 - Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (California) #womeninart #dress #art #oilpainting #portrait #ArthurDevis #FAMSF #artwork #Devis #womensart #portrait #baroque #rococo #portraitofawoman
In 1745, English artist Arthur Devis painted this full-length portrait of Alicia Maria Carpenter calmly wearing a silver ruched ivory silk dress with gold trim and pannier (hoop skirt) with extremely wide sides and flat front extending the skirt to be wider than her height. This style originated in Spanish court dress of the 17th century, spread thanks to portraits by Diego Velázquez, and became popular with the social elite after hitting the Paris fashion scene in 1718-1719. Carpenter's dress uses panels of ruched white satin between strips of gold (possibly lace). The revers (lining facing outside) extends to her open low neckline and up over her shoulders. In a room with wood floor, stone (or stone-like) walls and columns, the slender aristocrat stands with her hands at her narrow waist next to a small wooden round table with her folded fan and a single long white elbow-length glove on top. She is in the process of reaching to take off the matching glove from her left arm. Her overly-pale skin and facial features are delicate, with a rounded face, expressive eyes, a straight nose, and a gentle smile. Her lips with dark red rouge are full and soft. Her dark brown hair is styled in a fashionable neatly-arranged series of tight curls to her shoulder and topped with a looping headdress of small pearls that matches her earring with a larger shiny pearl. Devis was a Lancashire-born British artist from a dynastic family of artists descending from his father Anthony Devis including Arthur's half-brother painter Anthony Devis and Arthur's painter sons Thomas Anthony Devis and Arthur William Devis.
