In 1983, the poet John Ashbery said that Fairfield Porter was “perhaps the major American artist of the century.” It’s not praise you can take at face value—Ashbery and Porter were good friends, and while Porter’s realism often kept him at arm’s length from the Abstract Expressionists, he was embraced by the New York School poets. “But it’s a tempting thought,” Zachary Fine writes. “Ideas made painters and critics impervious to seeing what was in front of them,” he continues. “Porter’s mission was to make people see again.” Fine considers a new exhibition of Fairfield Porter’s soul-cleansing paintings at the Art Students League:

After 47 long days on the picket line, we are thrilled to announce a contract for our members at the Fairfield Inn and Four Points Times Square! Workers who started this fight nearly 4 years ago will receive more than $50,000 in back pay each, immediate wage increases of between $10-15 per hour, free family health care, retirement benefits and more. We are so grateful for the thousands of members, elected officials, and supporters who stood with us through 100 degree weather, rain storms, and wildfire smoke to make this victory possible!
