Kerry James Marshall offers a fresh lesson in art history at his London retrospective

Kerry James Marshall's retrospective 'The Histories' opens at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, featuring over 80 works spanning his career. The exhibition, co-curated by Mark Godfrey and Adrian Locke, includes early pieces like 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Shadow of His Former Self' (1980) and recent paintings exploring African history and the transatlantic slave trade. After London, the show travels to Kunsthaus Zürich and the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, timed to Marshall's 70th birthday.

Brazil’s Modernist Art Gets a Celebration in London

The Royal Academy of Arts in London is hosting "Brasil! Brasil! The Birth of Modernism," a major exhibition featuring over 130 works by 10 Brazilian modernist artists from the first half of the 20th century, plus landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx. Curated by Adrian Locke, who has Brazilian heritage, the show includes iconic pieces by Tarsila do Amaral, Candido Portinari, and Alfredo Volpi, alongside lesser-known artists like Afro-Brazilian painter Rubem Valentim. The exhibition revisits a historic 1944 show at the same institution, which was the first to present Brazilian modernist painting in the U.K.
