Pippa Bacca's 'Confianza' Embroiders Global Resistance

Italian artist Pippa Bacca's performance "Confianza" was inspired by her international hitchhiking tour with friend Silvia Moro in 2008. Bacca's story of trust and loss led to the creation of a dress that has been embroidered in public spaces internationally, including outside the UN building in New York, where Chauvet was detained for performing. The artist, Elina Chauvet, believes embroidery can be a form of resistance against patriarchal systems, using a universal language to address issues like femicide in Mexico and ongoing violence against women.

Renoir Drawing Found at Montgomery County Auction

Heidi Marco, owner of Salvage Goods in Easton, discovered a rare Pierre-Auguste Renoir drawing at an auction in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in January 2025. The drawing, which was initially purchased for $12, features a faint signature from the French Impressionist artist, born in 1841. Although not appraised, Marco believes it could be a Renoir work from the 1920s, given the writing on the back suggesting a Philadelphia art collector who donated to the Philadelphia Museum of Art once owned it.

However, Iskin presents a nuanced portrayal of Cassatt, highlighting the artist's contradictory statements about women's capabilities as artists, including a young statement expressing desire to surpass the old masters and a later letter to critic Roger Marx expressing doubt about women's artistic greatness.
