In 1960s New York, three single mothers bought a house together and turned it into a thriving live/work space

A new documentary film, *Artists in Residence*, premiered on November 14 at the DOC NYC film festival, telling the story of three single mothers—painters Lois Dodd and Eleanor Magid and the late sculptor Louise Kruger—who bought a former factory in New York's East Village in 1968. Denied a mortgage because single women could not apply for credit until 1974, they secured a loan from their landlord and transformed the building into a live/work space where they raised their children and pursued their art. The film, produced by Katie Jacobs, explores how each woman prioritized her creative practice while contributing to the city's cultural fabric.

Dog in Rembrandt’s The Night Watch was copied from widely available book, suggests new research

New research suggests that the barking dog in the lower right corner of Rembrandt's *The Night Watch* (1642) was copied from a title-page illustration by the Dutch artist Adriaen van de Venne. Anne Lenders, curator of 17th-century Dutch paintings at the Rijksmuseum, recognized the resemblance while visiting an exhibition on Van de Venne at the Zeeuws Museum. Macro X-ray fluorescence scans of the painting's underdrawing confirmed the similarity, though Rembrandt modified the dog's posture and added a tongue to make it appear alert and barking at a drum.
