The National Gallery of Art will not present solo exhibitions by painter Chuck Close and photographer Thomas Roma, both of whom have been accused of sexual misconduct.
The Close exhibition was supposed to open May 13, while the Roma show was planned for September. The decision to halt the shows was made earlier this month and marks the first time the gallery has canceled exhibitions because of public allegations against the featured artists, according to Anabeth Guthrie, the museums chief of communications.

Let’s burn those Picassos! What an evil womanizer!
Also, let’s burn the Van Goghs. He sexually harassed a woman with his ear.
Chuck Close is in a wheelchair, the women claimed he made vulgar comments. This is insane!
In the meantime, Maplethorpe art goes up in value...
Chuck Berry’s safe. Or, maybe not.
That Vermeer was up to no good with the girl wearing the earring.
That was no girl! That was an early transgender.
Wonder how they feel about that Van Gogh guy these days.... didn’t he harass a young lady ... even cut off his ear if I remember....
darn I need to review threads before I post....great minds and all...
It's a witch hunt.
I did the same thing with Picasso. Most of these artists were pigs in their personal life, lol.
Can some lady PLEASE accuse Lenin, Castro, and Che of some groping?
So, somehow we must believe a person who has a vagina is ALWAYS a paragon of virtue and truth, and would never lie or have mental issues.
Where is the evidence against these men? The word of a woman is pure gold, but the word of a man is worthless?
I don’t believe any of these so-called women anymore.
This is nothing but a witch hunt, and the men should follow the example of falsely accused Scott Biao and fight back.
Bunch of cowards.
What some of these “artistes” put onto canvas is no better than what your dog can. You and your wallet would be better off letting Fido wag his tail or Miss Kitty walk across the canvas.
Toulouse-Lautrec! Gotta go! Think of those dancers he painted and those French prostitutes that gave him the nickname “The LITTLE TEAPOT!” because of his, ..ah, never mind.
Get those Titians out!
“So, somehow we must believe a person who has a vagina is ALWAYS a paragon of virtue and truth, and would never lie or have mental issues.”
Ah yes, the feminists have restored the Victorian ideal of female virtuosity, without actually demanding that women take any responsibility to aspire to it, or suffer any consequences for falling short of it.
