Since his youth, Giorgio Griffa has been influenced by the culture of the United States. In this painting from his Alter Ego cycle, Griffa pays homage to Jack Kerouac’s 1957 novel of the same name, and its characters’ countercultural pursuit of freedom. Roads and paths, always winding and never complete, figure prominently in Griffa’s imagination.

"Giorgio Griffa: Paths in the Forest" is open through October 12, 2026.

Happy International Dog Day!
Pierre-Auguste Renoir painted this image of a Japanese spaniel for his friend Henri Cernuschi, a banker and collector of Asian art. The pet’s black-and-white fur stands out against the colored brushstrokes of the background, which partly obscure an inscription of its name, Tama, faintly visible in the painting’s top left corner.

When Pierre-Auguste Renoir visited Venice in 1881, he was captivated by the Doge’s Palace. This view was very popular with artists; Renoir joked that “there were at least six of us queuing up to paint it.”
