Harald Metzkes, Postwar German Painter of ‘World Theater,’ Dies at 97

Harald Metzkes, the German painter known for his classically indebted and symbolically rich works created after World War II, died at age 97 in Brandenburg. His death was confirmed by his son, sculptor Robert Metzkes. Metzkes gained prominence in East Germany for rejecting socialist realism, instead developing a distinctive style that combined poetic imagery, references to classical modernism, and deeply symbolic visual worlds. The Neue Nationalgalerie is currently showing his painting "Removal of the Six-Armed Goddess" (1956) in an exhibition titled "Extreme Tension. Art between Politics and Society Collection of the Nationalgalerie 1945–2000."

Miami Graffiti Legend Eric Alan Hirt "Eson" Killed in Train Strike

Eric Alan Hirt, known as "Eson," a legendary Miami graffiti artist and member of the Miami Style Gods (MSG) crew, was struck and killed by a Brightline passenger train on May 13 near his home in North Miami. The 47-year-old was walking along the tracks in a designated "quiet zone" where trains do not sound horns; his wife noted he was partially deaf. Hirt gained widespread attention through a 2018 VICE documentary, where he was shown risking his life to tag highways and infrastructure, and openly embraced the label of "vandal." His death marks at least the 206th fatal Brightline strike since 2017, a line previously called the country's most fatal by the Associated Press.
