Winslow Homer, born this day, 1836
Fox Hunt - my favorite of his, and also the largest painting he did. I luckily get to see it often at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art museum here in Philadelphia.

In this self-portrait, artist Mequitta Ahuja brings her African American and Indian American heritage, and the long history of studio painting, into a single, layered scene. The title nods to Gustave Courbet’s nineteenth-century “The Painter’s Studio: A Real Allegory,” yet Ahuja replaces his crowded, male-centered drama with a quiet, solitary woman-of-color artist absorbed in her own sources. A woman with medium-brown skin sits cross-legged on a pale blue mat, her back and rounded shoulders turned toward us as she studies an image held low in her right hand. Her dark hair is gathered into a loose knot with muscles, spine, and fingers are carefully modeled, emphasizing a working artist’s body at rest. Around her are open books including one displaying a richly robed, cross-legged figure in orange and another showing architectural sketches and prints as their white pages fan out across the floor. A yellowed sheet of paper slips from the stack like a bookmark of ideas. The room recedes in angled planes of dark floorboards, speckled green walls, and doorways edged in yellow that frame deep shadows. On the right, a vertical panel divides the space, revealing a curling sheet on which a silhouetted profile of the artist appears, arm bent, brush in hand, as if she is both subject and shadow on the wall, page, and canvas at once. The devotional card suggests Indian spiritual traditions while the art books likely echo a Euro-American canon that has often sidelined artists like her. By turning her back to us, Ahuja refuses spectacle and instead invites us to witness the thinking, researching, and world-building that underlie painting. The silhouette on the curling page becomes a second self like a future, remembered, or imagined as she insists that women-of-color are not just represented in images but are the authors, historians, and, in this beautiful painting, allegorists of the studio itself.

A softly lit face floats at the center of a nearly colorless field, emerging from a veil of pale creams, blush pinks, and muted browns. The figure’s light, warm-toned skin and bare shoulders dissolve into a misty atmosphere so that body, neck, and background almost merge. Curly, reddish-brown hair radiates outward like a halo of loose coils, edges blurred as if seen through fog. Golden, glassy eyes meet ours directly, their small points of brightness the sharpest notes in the painting. The eyelids and mouth are gently modeled but never fully crisp. Her lips part to reveal teeth, yet contours soften into haze. Cracks and fine lines at the chest suggest delicate vulnerability, while the square canvas holds this solitary, frontal figure suspended in an ambiguous, quiet space. In this self-portrait, American artist Anne Harris uses near-monochrome color and atmospheric brushwork to explore how a self can feel both exposed and unknowable. Known for portraits of women that deliberately unsettle ideals of beauty, she paints herself as neither flattering nor fixed, hovering between realism and abstraction. The dissolving edges and eerie luminosity convey anxiety and introspection, as if the artist is simultaneously coming into focus and fading away. Created in the late 1990s, when Harris was gaining recognition, fellowships, and teaching appointments, the work reflects her sustained inquiry into perception, self-scrutiny, and the psychological pressures placed on women’s faces and bodies. Collected in PAFA’s Linda Lee Alter Collection of Art by Women, the painting stands as a quiet yet intense challenge to conventional portraiture, insisting that identity is fragile, shifting, and deeply felt rather than neatly defined.

This close-up self-portrait shows American artist Diane Edison, a Black woman, filling the vertical panel with her face and long dark hair. Her warm brown skin is modelled in careful layers of light and shadow, so that the ridge of her brow, nose, and cheekbones feel almost sculpted. She looks slightly past us toward our left, eyes wide and alert, one eyebrow subtly tensed. Her lips are closed, neither smiling nor frowning, suggesting guarded attention. Thick, dark free-hanging locs frame her face against a deep black background, making her gaze and skin the brightest elements in the painting. A narrow bit of her neck at the bottom hints at the rest of her body, but the composition keeps our focus on her expression. In 1996, Edison was in mid-career, teaching in Georgia and increasingly recognized for psychologically charged portraits of herself, family, and friends. Trained at the School of Visual Arts in New York and the University of Pennsylvania, she builds her images slowly, translating the close looking of drawing into paint. Here, she turns that scrutiny on herself, insisting on the presence of a middle-aged Black woman artist at a time when museum walls and syllabi still centered others. The tight crop denies any decorative context. Instead, the painting reads like a confrontation with viewers and with history. Her locs, which in later works she treats as a symbol of time and change, tumble around her face, signalling a hard-won self-definition. Gifted to PAFA in the Linda Lee Alter Collection of Art by Women, this work helps rewrite who is seen as the face of American portraiture.

Painted in 1937, when American artist Priscilla Warren Roberts was about 21 and beginning serious study in New York, this portrait reads as a clear statement of intent. She presents herself not as a polished society woman but as a working artist with her hair askew, no jewelry, and a practical collared-shirt standing in for a studio smock. It’s a vertical, close-up self-portrait showing the light-skinned young woman centered against a dark forest green background. Her dusty brown hair is pulled back but escapes in loose wisps, especially at the right edge, as if caught mid-motion. Large round amber glasses frame wide green-brown eyes that look directly at us, giving her an alert, almost startled focus. Light hits her forehead, nose, and long neck, leaving soft shadows around the eyes and jaw. Her mouth is parted and painted a brick red, as if she might of just inhaled to speak. She wears a dark navy shirt with bright cobalt stripes and pale piping around an open collar and the shoulders cropped close to the edges. Her tilted gaze and tight mouth suggest uncertainty as well as resolve, catching a moment of self-questioning. Roberts would later be praised for painstaking “magic-realist” still lifes that juxtapose everyday objects with near-photographic precision. In this self-portrait, that exacting attention is turned inward, tracing each flare of light on skin and glasses. In PAFA’s collection, the painting marks an early, uncompromising self-image of a woman determined to build a lifelong, quietly unconventional career in art.

Watching #DavidLynch answer without hesitation how influential #FrancisBacon was for him during his time at #PAFA, that he was never the same after seeing his '66 show there in #Philadelphia, I now regret having disposed of the issue on the artist @monopolmagazin.bsky.social so long ago. #artsky
