 December 16, 2022Good morning. 🌧️ For almost 160 years, a self-portrait of Paul Cézanne was hidden underneath a still life with bread, eggs, and onions. It was recently discovered by conservators at the Cincinnati Museum of Art, who used X-ray imaging. The sinister self-portrait was made during the artist's "dark period," a joyless chapter of his life and work. Read more about this fascinating discovery in our report today. In other news, workers at MASS MoCA signed a union contract after more than a year of strained bargaining, including a one-day strike. It's the latest in a string of wins for cultural workers. And remember that problematic Lensa app that allegedly violates copyrights and data privacy to create AI-generated selfies? Now, users are also accusing it of being racist and misogynistic.
