When it comes to contemporary artists, I always tell them their work should be shared with the public — art isn’t meant to sit in a drawer. However, when it comes to private collections, it’s a different matter: the owner has every right to decide whether to display the pieces or not.
At the same time, I still find it unfair when such magnificent works remain hidden from view for decades — like Joaquín Sorolla’s Paris Boulevard, which hidden from view for 134 years (👿!!!!) until its remarkable rediscovery with the family who bought it in 1890. Thankfully, we can now finally enjoy it.
FYI: the artist includes himself in the scene, seated at a table with a soldier, casually smoking a cigar. 😊
For now, this masterpiece is on display in Madrid, but I truly hope it makes its way to New York sometime soon.

Not only do I and Ilya (the talented musician and AI artist who recently released his award-winning AI film) spend evenings discussing, mostly the challenges (ironically!) of AI and its role in our capitalist society (I’m sure you’ve thought about this too).
Criticizing AI prompts us to consider larger issues in capitalism. AI not only threatens creative industries but also exposes the unfair labor behind it, like low-paid workers training AI. To understand AI, we must examine the social structures shaping it and acknowledge the collective labor behind technology.
AI challenges us to confront changing technology and values. We need to focus on its broader social impacts, not just the technology itself.
Charlie Engman, a wonderful contemporary artist (сheck out her website - pretty cool, huh?) wrote a huuuge and detailed article about the concept of being an AI artist, using her personal project as an example. If you’d like to read it all – great!
