November 28, 2022Happy Monday! ⛅ This week, news editor Valentina Di Liscia is in Miami for the fairs, and she'll be bringing us dispatches at that gathering of the ultra-rich and their minions. Today, we have a special essay by Daniel Larkin, who looks at the ways the art community distorts Roman Catholicism and the reality of contemporary followers of that faith. He writes: The problem is that what feels like the right way to write about Catholicism, or Christian iconography more broadly, to most art critics today is heavily influenced by the discourse they absorb at museums, which is far from neutral. Many writers are not cognizant of the hidden incentives and tradeoffs that play into museum/Church relationships, and in turn shape our shared discourse. I highly recommend the whole piece. Also, can you believe it's almost December?! — Hrag Vartanian, editor-in-chief The Art World’s Catholic ProblemWhat feels like the right way to write about Roman Catholicism, or Christian iconography, to most art critics is heavily influenced by museum discourse, which is far from neutral. | Daniel Larkin SPONSORED Bard Graduate Center: MA & PhD Programs in Decorative Arts, Design History, Material CultureThe New York City institution has trained curators, researchers, educators, and museum and arts professionals for over 25 years.
