During an unusual spate of rainy weather last month, residents of Madrid were looking for any excuse to stay indoors. But over at the city’s Museo del Prado, Spain’s flagship cultural institution, the crowds waiting to get in stretched as usual right around the Neo-Classical museum building, decorating the beige façade with a steady display of multicoloured umbrellas.

Durant sa période de maturité, au cours des premières décennies du XVIIIe siècle, Rachel Ruysch (1664-1750) fut sans doute l’artiste la plus acclamée des Pays- Bas. Propulsée vers la gloire à la fin du XVIIe siècle, alors que la Hollande atteignait son âge d’or, la peintre s’est illustrée dans l’art de la nature morte, produisant un remarquable corpus de compositions florales somptueuses.

When she was a single 20-something teacher, Maggy Witecki wanted to get a toehold in the real-estate market. So she paid $235,000 for a small, century-old bungalow in the waterfront city of Bellingham, Wash., where she had gone to college. Then in 2017, she and her firefighter husband, Andrew Mrosla, purchased the nearly identical cottage next door.

The military uniforms hang from the walls—stiff, battered, empty but overflowing with dead rose petals. A 24m-long new mural by the post-war German artist Anselm Kiefer, crowning the staircase of Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum, illustrates the words of a 1950s anti-war song: Sag mir wo die Blumen sind, or Where have all the flowers gone? The installation is part of a new two-part exhibition by Kiefer, who turns 80 today.

The Austrian artist Egon Schiele was only 28 when he died in 1918, but he left behind about 400 paintings and around 3,000 works on paper—more than many artists produce in a lifetime twice as long. The art world has tried to make sense of this prolific output by parsing a scant decade of activity into distinct periods.

In 1969, Anselm Kiefer, a 24-year-old art student, confronted the amnesia of West Germany’s post-war identity. He did this through a series of performances and photo montages featuring caricatural self-portraits in which he performed the banned straight-armed Nazi salute. Costumed, wearing his father’s military coat or cross-dressing, in his studio or in dialogue with historically charged landscapes and monuments, he created images simultaneously absurd, defiant, dissociated and forlorn.

In 1969, the New York couple Philip and Lynn Straus celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary by acquiring Salome, a lithograph by Edvard Munch. The 1903 work, printed in black ink on yellowish Japanese paper, shows a couple merging into a single being, and it set the Strauses on a decades-long path. They went on to assemble one of America’s premier collections of the Norwegian artist, including a wide range of works on paper and several key paintings.
