What Are the Most Memorable Works of Visual Art You’ve Ever Seen? – The New York Times

Published

Whether experienced in a museum, on a city street, via social media, in a classroom or anywhere else, what paintings, sculptures, photos, illustrations or other works of visual art have most affected you?

Are you attracted to visual art? Do you go to exhibits? Stop on the street to admire murals, graffiti or public sculpture? Scroll through artistic photos on social media? Or even make your own?

If so, what kind of work most frequently catches your eye? What individual pieces have you found most meaningful or influential over the years? Why?

Even if you don’t think of yourself as an art lover, are there works of visual art that have made a strong impression on you, whether from childhood or only recently? How would you describe them? Why do you think you remember them? If you were to seek out visual art that would interest you right now, where might it be found?

To help you think about these questions, you might scroll through the New York Times Art and Design section. Below, we’ve chosen a few recent pieces and posed some related questions, but we encourage you to find your own, too.

We’ll start with the multisensory piece shown at the top of this post, from the exhibit “Tomás Saraceno: Particular Matter(s).” Here is how an article about it begins:

“You need to check out this installation in NYC,” reads the title card of the TikTok post.

“Must love spiders,” adds a qualifier in the caption.

The video opens onto the mouth of a white globe, 95 feet in diameter, inside the McCourt space of the Shed, a cultural center in the Hudson Yards neighborhood, where an interactive exhibition by the Argentine artist Tomás Saraceno opened in February. Overhead, 40 feet above the ground, scattered people clamber across wire mesh netting. Twenty-eight feet below, visitors sprawl out on their backs, limbs outstretched.

If you could, would you want to experience this piece, or other “interactive and experience-based art” similar to it?

Next, here is a slide show about work you can see on the streets of the Bronx:

Alfredo Oyague, a well-known graffiti artist, wanted to promote peace through his work. Although diabetes forced him to stop painting murals in 2018, he hoped to bring together two crews to paint a wall in the Bronx.

Item 1 of 7

Do you like graffiti and other kinds of street art? What are some of the more memorable works you have seen, in any artistic genre?

Maybe you’re a fan of some of the masters of 19th- or 20th- century painting, like J.M.W. Turner, whose works you can see at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston right now, or Winslow Homer, whose paintings are on view at the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Have you ever seen the painting above, which many consider Homer’s greatest work? What other famous paintings do you know and admire?

If you’d like to see a range of contemporary works in many genres, there may be an exhibit near you like the Whitney Biennial. Here is a piece from the current show, a survey of recent American art, which, a Times critic writes, is “freighted with three years of soul-rattling history marked by social divisiveness, racist violence and relentless mortality.”

Charlie Rubin for The New York Times

What visual arts have you seen over the last few years that speak especially well to the political and social issues of our world today? Another collection that tries to address such questions is the annual New York Times photojournalism roundup, called The Year in Pictures. Here are the Year in Pictures collections from 2020 and 2021. Which images stand out for you?

Finally, maybe you’re interested in nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, even if the question of whether or not they are art is still an open one. What do you think of the piece below?

  • Do you seek out visual art, via museums, social media, studios, walks on city streets or in any other way? Do you create it yourself? What inspires you most?

  • Did anything you found in this post or by scrolling through the Art and Design section surprise you, inspire a strong reaction, or challenge you in some way? What? Why?

A misspelled memorial to the Brontë sisters gets its dots back at last

LONDON (AP) — With a few daubs of a paintbrush, the Brontë sisters have got their dots back.

More than eight decades after it was installed, a memorial to the three 19th-century sibling novelists in London’s Westminster Abbey was amended Thursday to restore the diaereses – the two dots over the e in their surname.

The dots — which indicate that the name is pronounced “brontay” rather than “bront” — were omitted when the stone tablet commemorating Charlotte, Emily and Anne was erected in the abbey’s Poets’ Corner in October 1939, just after the outbreak of World War II.

They were restored after Brontë historian Sharon Wright, editor of the Brontë Society Gazette, raised the issue with Dean of Westminster David Hoyle. The abbey asked its stonemason to tap in the dots and its conservator to paint them.

“There’s no paper record for anyone complaining about this or mentioning this, so I just wanted to put it right, really,” Wright said. “These three Yorkshire women deserve their place here, but they also deserve to have their name spelled correctly.”

It’s believed the writers’ Irish father Patrick changed the spelling of his surname from Brunty or Prunty when he went to university in England.

Raised on the wild Yorkshire moors, all three sisters died before they were 40, leaving enduring novels including Charlotte’s “Jane Eyre,” Emily’s “Wuthering Heights” and Anne’s “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.”

Rebecca Yorke, director of the Brontë Society, welcomed the restoration.

“As the Brontës and their work are loved and respected all over the world, it’s entirely appropriate that their name is spelled correctly on their memorial,” she said.
