We stand in solidarity with the uprising unfolding across the country following the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Nina Pop, Jamel Floyd, and those affected by generations of structural violence against Black communities.

Shahzia Sikander and Princely Deer Hunters (ca. 1660 – 70)

When I look at old paintings, I am less interested to read where they are from, and instead respond more instinctively. It might be my mood at the time or one little thing I’m obsessed with in my own work, and I might try to locate that within a given painting.

<em>Princely Deer Hunters</em>, India, Deccan ca. 1660 – 70. Ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper. 9 1/2 × 17 15/16 in. Collection of Mrs. Stuart Cary Welch, New Hampshire.
