The Metropolitan Museum of Art on Instagram: "Sneak peek at “Sargent and Paris,” opening April 27. 💫 This much-anticipated exhibition traces the early career of American painter John Singer Sargent, from his arrival in Paris in 1874 as a precocious 18-year-old art student through the mid-1880s, when his infamous portrait Madame X was a scandalous success at the Paris Salon. Over the course of one extraordinary decade, Sargent achieved recognition by creating boldly ambitious portraits and figure paintings that pushed the boundaries of conventionality. Visit #SargentAndParis April 27-August 3."

Artnet on Instagram: "#ArtnetNews: It’s said that friends of artist and sculptor John Chamberlain would wait expectantly for him to finish a pack of cigarettes so as to watch how he’d crimp and contort its hollow shell. Beginning in the late 1960s, Chamberlain applied the same bare-handed attention to other everyday materials, including paper bags, foam, wire, and aluminum foil. After two decades of crafting the crushed car sculptures for which he became best known, Chamberlain returned to humble aluminum foil in the 1980s, making a group of 29 palm-sized, freestanding sculptures. It was in some ways his ideal material, one both pliant and resistant, whose every crinkle evidenced the hand of the artist. To make the works, he twisted foil into elongated tubes, which were then bent and wove

Modern Art Daily on Instagram: "Egon Schiele painted bodies like they were burning—distorted, fragile, raw. But look closely and you’ll see something else: a kind of stillness beneath the chaos. A meditative tension. Some have drawn parallels between Schiele’s linework and the calligraphic brushstrokes of East Asian ink painting. It’s not a direct influence, but there’s a shared reverence for the line as an expressive force—minimal yet charged. Maybe that’s why his work feels timeless. Schiele wasn’t just painting what he saw—he was tracing what he felt in the most essential way possible. Do you see a connection here? Or is this reaching 🤔? Let me know in the comments ✨! #egonschiele #modernart #arthistory"

@daily.impressionists on Instagram: "Cats have long been muses, silent, graceful and endlessly mysterious. The Impressionists knew it well. From Renoir to Manet, feline forms graced their canvases, not just as pets but as symbols of independence, beauty and quiet rebellion. These paintings are my tribute to that legacy. For all the cat lovers, the art lovers and those who understand that some companions don’t need words to say everything. 🐈 . . . #dailyimpressionists #petportraits #catlovers #cats #nationalpetday #cats_of_instagram #pets #frenchart #frenchartist #renoir #toulouselautrec #monet #manet #matisse #elvispresley #felinemuse #arthistory #viral #reelsviral"
