The residents of Fort Pierce, Florida, are not accustomed to seeing dark SUVs and flashing motorcycles speed down the town’s main thoroughfare bordering the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. Part beach getaway, part working class community, the city is located about 60 miles north of the luxurious Palm Beach estate of the
most famous – and frequent –criminal defendant in recent history: Donald J. Trump. The former president has become a regular visitor to the federal courthouse in Fort Pierce, more specifically, the courtroom of U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon who is presiding over the so-called classified documents trial....

Explanation: Big, beautiful spiral galaxy NGC 1055 is a dominant member of a small galaxy group a mere 60 million light-years away toward the aquatically intimidating constellation Cetus. Seen edge-on, the island universe spans over 100,000 light-years, a little larger than our own Milky Way galaxy. The
colorful, spiky stars decorating this cosmic portrait of NGC 1055 are in the foreground, well within the Milky Way. But the telltale pinkish star forming regions are scattered through winding dust lanes along the distant galaxy's thin disk. With a smattering of even more distant background galaxies, the deep image also reveals a...

A painting of Lord Balfour, whose eponymous doctrine is considered the catalyst for the 1948 establishment of Israel and the subsequent Nakba, the Palestinian term referring to the displacement of 750,000 Palestinians from their homes, was defaced in England on Friday. The activist group Palestine Action shared a video on X of
an unidentified protestor dousing Balfour’s portrait, a 1914 work by Philip Alexius de László, in red spray paint and then slashing the canvas nearly almost entirely to pieces. The work is housed at Trinity College, a school that is part of the University of Cambridge. Related Articles Protestor...

The painting depicts Arthur Balfour, author of the 1917 declaration that established Britain’s aim to create a Jewish state in Palestine.

A Diego Velázquez portrait of Spanish Queen Isabel de Borbón, which was expected to break the artist’s previous records, was quietly withdrawn from auction by Sotheby’s in New York. The court painting, which has been owned by a private family trust in the US since 1978, was pulled due to “ongoing discussions”
on behalf of the sellers. The painting did not appear in the auction house’s digital sales catalogue released on December 21. There is speculation that a US museum may have put in an offer, however, Sotheby’s declined to comment, the Art Newspaper reported Friday. The 1620s painting was...

After 5 Years, Yale Law School Still Refuses To Display A Portrait Of Justice Thomas

After five years, Yale still refuses to display a portrait of Justice Thomas. In any other context, if this happened to a prominent liberal, it would be asserted that racism was to blame. But
since it’s conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, a political snub will be ignored — if not celebrated.

Explanation: Sharp telescopic views of NGC 3628 show a puffy galactic disk divided by dark dust lanes. Of
course, this portrait of the magnificent, edge-on spiral galaxy puts some astronomers in mind of its popular moniker, the Hamburger Galaxy. It also reveals a small galaxy nearby (below), likely a satellite of NGC 3628, and a very faint but extensive tidal tail. The drawn out tail stretches for about 300,000 light-years, even beyond the left edge of the frame. NGC 3628 shares its neighborhood in the local universe with two other large spirals M65 and M66 in a grouping otherwise known...

‘Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street’ Review: Portrait of Another Spectacular Government Failure
|

Breitbart ^
| 5 Jan 2023 | John Nolte
The latest true crime limited series, Madoff: the Monster of Wall Street, is one of Netflix’s best in a long, long time. It’s
also director Joe Berlinger’s best work since his masterwork, the Paradise Lost trilogy (1996-2011). At first, because it’s more than four hours long over four episodes, this might look like another one of Netflix’s true-crime-waste-of-times, another one-hour documentary stretched to four interminable hours by way of repetition and dull filler. (Berlinger has been responsible for his share of these.) Thankfully, that’s not the case here. The Monster of Wall Street zips by. Every one of its 250...

Cézanne Self-Portrait Hidden Under a Still Life Is Discovered After Almost 160 Years

My Modern Met ^
| December 20, 2022 | Madyson DeJausserand
During a routine inspection of the Cincinnati Art Museum’s cherished Paul Cézanne work titled Still Life with Bread and Eggs, chief conservator Serena Urry noticed something “odd.” What
she found lying beneath the surface is a secret that has remained hidden for almost 160 years. No work is safe from time, and for this still life piece from 1865, cracking in the paint is expected. However, Urry noticed that these cracks were concentrated in two particular areas, instead of spread throughout the canvas. And, underneath those cracks, starkly contrasting against the painting’s dark color palette, lay glimmers of bright white....
