“Apocalyptic” doesn’t even begin to describe the year we’ve had so far. But as Daniel Larkin writes today, artists have long been preoccupied with the Biblical story, from Medieval illuminated manuscripts depicting the battle between good and evil to Kandinsky and Kiki Smith. Read his review below for a trip through apocalypse art history.

Meanwhile in New York City, a Medieval twist on Pride comes to the Upper West Side in the form of artist Yuliya Tsukerman and Greedy Peasant’s second-annual “pilgrimage” at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. I can’t really say much more … you’ll have to read Isabella Segalovich’s story.

More below, including a View From the Easel, Required Reading, and a remembrance of Daniel Lelong, whose relationships with some of modernity’s iconic artists helped shape the vision of his namesake gallery.
