American artist Helen Hyde travelled to Japan at the end of the 19th century and became deeply immersed in the tradition of Japanese colour woodblock printing. Women and children were among her favourite subjects, captured with affection, humour and an eye for ordinary moments.

The Red Curtain (1907) is a beautiful meeting of American observation and Japanese craftsmanship.

"Yasuo Kuniyoshi,
“Strong Woman with Child”
(1925)"

Today was Kuniyoshi's birthday. The Japanese-born painter, one of the most idiosyncratic and expressive artists of his time, moved to the United States as a teenager in 1906 and lived there until his death in 1953.

He was denied citizenship, declared an enemy alien during the second world war, and when he married an American woman in 1919, she was stripped of her citizenship and disowned by her family for years.

His most productive years in the US coincided with an ugly age of racism, anti-immigrant sentiment and xenophobia. Yet he remained faithful to his adopted country, contributed art to the war effort and considered himself all American.

Happy Birthday, Robert Crumb!

Born on this day in 1943, Robert Crumb became one of the defining voices of the underground comix movement of the 1960s and '70s.

His instantly recognizable drawing style, sharp satire, and unforgettable characters—including Mr. Natural, Fritz the Cat, and the iconic Keep On Truckin' image—helped reshape independent comics and graphic storytelling.

Whether admired, debated, or imitated, Crumb's work has left

Travel posters once sold a dream.

With bold colours and streamlined design, Charles W. Holmes captured the carefree spirit of an American summer. Created for the Boston & Maine Railroad, this poster beckons travelers to Lake Winnipesaukee—New Hampshire's largest lake and one of New England's classic vacation destinations.

Sometimes all it takes is sunshine, open water, and nowhere in particular to be.

"What's Going On?" is still a question worth asking.

On this day in 1977, Marvin Gaye headlined Oakland's Unity Day Concert, an event dedicated to building community through kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.

Decades later, the best music still reminds us that empathy can bridge divides—and that every community is stronger when everyone feels they belong.

"Only love can conquer hate."

Some stars never go out of style.

Long before television broadcasts and social media, thousands gathered at events like the Chicago Kennel Club Dog Show to admire champion dogs from around the country. This colorful 1909 poster celebrates several of the era's favourite breeds—and reminds us that our affection for dogs is truly timeless.

Which breed catches your eye first?

Where art met imagination.

Renaissance artists delighted in transforming everyday objects into works of fantasy. This extraordinary ceremonial vessel—supported by a tortoise, a dragon, and a swan-maiden—dates from about 1540–1570 and reflects an era when craftsmanship, mythology, and playful invention went hand in hand.

Sometimes the container was every bit as remarkable as what it held.
