norman rockwell family speaks out about department of homeland security misuse of artwork

The descendants of Norman Rockwell have publicly condemned the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for using reproductions of Rockwell's paintings on social media to promote anti-immigrant rhetoric. Since August, DHS posts on X, Instagram, and Facebook have featured Rockwell's works such as "Salute the Flag" (1971), "Working on the Statue of Liberty" (1946), and "And Daniel Boone Comes to Life on the Underwood Portable" (1923), overlaid with captions like "Protect our American way of life" and "Protect your homeland and defend your culture." The Rockwell family responded with an op-ed in USA Today, arguing that the artist would have been "devastated" by this misuse, and provided context about his later civil rights-themed works.

‘I'm going to miss the quiet life we had’: Greenlander artist Inuuteq Storch on Trump, travel and his ambitions to build a photography museum

Greenlander artist Inuuteq Storch, who gained international recognition for his takeover of the Danish pavilion at the 2024 Venice Biennale, discusses the impact of Donald Trump's renewed claims about taking over Greenland. Storch, whose work focuses on everyday life in Greenland, expresses concern that the political rhetoric could disrupt the quiet, preserved way of life in his community. He is currently showing a new iteration of his Venice exhibition at the Hasselblad Center in Gothenburg, Sweden, and has a major show at MoMA PS1. Storch's practice includes archiving historical images, such as those by Greenland's first photographer John Møller, and using his art to address colonial legacies and resistance.
