The Neue Galerie in New York is opening the first US museum exhibition dedicated to German Expressionist artist Erich Heckel (1883-1970), running from October 9, 2025 to January 12, 2026.

The show features around 40 works from 1905 to 1920, including loans from the Harvard Art Museums and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

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.

Chinese-born, Paris-based painter Xie Lei has spent nearly two decades perfecting what he calls a 'poetics of the strange' in his canvases, which feature ghostly, gender-ambiguous figures in ambiguous situations—such as a kiss that could also be an act of suffocation. His works, which draw on memory rather than live models, will be exhibited at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris in September 2025. Xie cites influences ranging from classical Western painters like Delacroix and Goya to French authors Albert Camus and Jean Genet, as well as psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva and Chinese writers Zhuang Zhou and Pu Songling.

Nicholas Galanin, a multidisciplinary artist and member of the Sitka Tribe of Alaska, withdrew from a symposium hosted by the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM), citing government censorship.
