Good morning. It’s the dawn of a new era. Trump is president again, and the first strains of a new tune are already resounding ominously in the air. What do we do against it? We turn, maybe, to history and to community. Eileen G’Sell writes on the underrecognized Norwegian painter Else Hagen who “plumbed the tensions, envies, frustrations, and tender bonds” among women.

In other stories — are you one of the few remaining people in the world who can read cursive? (Not to brag, but I’m one of them.) The National Archives wants you to help decipher hundreds of handwritten government documents. In less fun news, Apexart postponed a Palestinian art show indefinitely after participants modified an exhibition text to discuss Israel’s attacks on Gaza. And last but not least, what's a four-letter acronym for a clinician who might have their patients paint? Check out Natan Last’s mini crossword to puzzle it out. — Lisa Yin Zhang, Associate Editor | |
