This Exhibit Shows How Our Relationship With Nature Was Redefined By A Dragonfly
Working as a merchant in 16th century Antwerp, Joris Hoefnagel saw the world through the medium of trade. He encountered luxurious objets d'art crafted with exotic wood and shell. But his eyes were drawn most of all to natural history specimens he considered to be God's own creations. Over several decades, he rendered them in watercolor on parchment or vellum. He called his collection The Four Elements, associating mammals with earth, birds with air, and fish with water. But it was the insects that received his greatest devotion. Without comment, he associated them with fire. Joris Hoefnagel. Animalia Rationalia et Insecta (Ignis), c. 1575/1580, bound volume of 78 drawings in watercolor and gouache. National Gallery of Art, Gift of Mrs. Lessing J. Rosenwald 1987.20.5 No explanation was needed. A rare opportunity to view pages from The Four Elements at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC reveals an almost alchemical process by which Hoefnagel captured the preternatural iridescence of butterflies and beetles. Rendered in Hoefnagel's meticulous hand, often using brushes with just a few bristles and sometimes animated with teeny flecks of gold, the 'little beasts' (as insects were known at the time) appear to be aflame. And yet for all the magic of the painting, Hoefnagel never surrendered to fantasy. Unlike the whimsical objets d'art he handled in trade, his images are accurate enough that exhibition co-curators at the National Museum of Natural History can confidently name the species. By contemporary standards, Hoefnagel is a study in contradictions. His scientific precision was inspired by religious devotion. His artistic creations pay homage to the Creator. Closer examination reveals tensions that are more subtle but no less profound. One of the most surprising is his choice of materials. It's not just the artifice of making critters come to life with sprinkles of gold leaf. Several of the watercolors turn out to be composite images constructed in part from bits of his specimens. With Hoefnagel's help, these little beasts represent themselves. The apparent contradiction of scientific inquiry motivated by religious faith is easily resolved when you consider that science emerged from religion, and only recently sought explanations independent of faith. There's also a long history of art serving religion. Humans have often paid homage to the miraculous by emulating it. But Hoefnagel's hybrid watercolors are not so easily contextualized (even if some of the techniques were also used by other artists of the period). Since the Renaissance, objects of wonder were categorized as naturalia or artificialia. The former included crystals and shells and animal pelts. The latter were the products of artisans, who might denature naturalia by embedding specimens in lavish settings or might transform natural materials beyond recognition. Although artificialia often emulated naturalia in whimsical ways, the artifice was the source of delight. Some of the finest artifacts were just noticeably different from their inspiration, simultaneously paying homage to the artisan and the natural specimen. In concept and in practice, Hoefnagel's hybrids are the opposite. When he outfits real dragonfly wings with a watercolor body and legs, he naturalizes artificialia and vice versa. What we admire is the composite, which we see as autonomous. Hoefnagel's hybrids were feasible because his subjects were small. Little beasts were well suited to life-size depiction, making their bodies interchangeable with their rendering (especially parts of their anatomy that were essentially two dimensional). Optical devices developed in Hoefnagel's era enhanced observation, while simultaneously augmenting the sense of awe that humans have had for these diminutive life forms since antiquity. ('We make a wonder at the monstrous and mightie shoulders of Elephants' wrote Pliny the Elder in the Naturis Historia. 'We keepe a woondring at the ravenings of tygres, and the shag manes of Lions: and yet in comparison of these Insects, there is nothing wherein Nature and her whole power is more seen, neither sheweth she her might more than in the least creatures of all.') Jan van Kessel the Elder. Insects and a Sprig of Rosemary, 1653, oil on copper. National Gallery of Art, The Richard C. Von Hess Foundation, Nell and Robert Weidenhammer Fund, Barry D. Friedman, and Friends of Dutch Art 2018.41.1 Whether or not Hoefnagel's little beasts were inspired by the Naturis Historia or other ancient sources, his artworks clearly express a Christianized version of Pliny's panegyric, and provide a timely reminder of insects' significance as modern humans decimate global populations of butterflies and bumblebees. The same can be said about other works in the National Gallery exhibition, such as the 17th century panels of Jan van Kessel. But the greater significance of The Four Elements is the challenge Hoefnagel presents to the distinction between naturalia and artificialia, a dichotomy that continues to play a role in the spurious separation of humankind from the natural world. Even if the insects didn't voluntarily participate in their creation, the hybridity of Hoefnagel's composites defies classification. The works provide a vision as salient now as ever. In earth, air, water, and especially fire, we share the materials to forge a common future.

The Birth Of The Black Dandy: How 250 Years Of Black Fashion Inspired The 2025 Met Gala
Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE Portrait of a Man, c. 1855. National Gallery of Art Fashion is one of the most powerful tools we have for understanding ourselves and the world around us. Nowhere is this clearer than in the story of Black American tailoring and the legacy of the Black dandy. Inspired by scholar Monica L. Miller's groundbreaking book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity , the theme of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute spring 2025 show is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. The exhibition charts the evolution of the Black dandy from the 18th century to today. The story it tells is about more than suits. It's about power, pride, resistance and joy. Each year, the Met Gala takes its dress code from the institute's spring exhibition. This year's is 'Tailored for You.' So who is the Black dandy, why are they so important to fashion today, and what can we expect to see on the red carpet? 'Black dandy' is a modern term. Figures like American abolitionist Frederick Douglass (1818–95) or Haitian revolutionary leader Toussaint Louverture (1743–1803) would not have called themselves dandies, but they used style with similar effect: as a tool of resistance, self-fashioning and cultural pride. Toussaint Louverture was a leader during the widespread uprisings of enslaved people in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) in 1791. This image was drawn in 1802. The Metropolitan Museum of Art French poet Charles Baudelaire (1821–67) first wrote about dandies in 1863, describing them as individuals who elevate style to a form of personal and aesthetic resistance. Baudelaire's dandy was not just stylish but symbolic. He was an emblem of modernity itself: a time marked by fluid identities, liminal spaces and the collapse of clear boundaries between gender, authenticity and social order. Dandyism among Black men took root in the 18th and 19th centuries in both the United States and the Caribbean. Tailoring became a way to reclaim dignity under enslavement and colonialism. Dandies take the clothing of an oppressor – aristocratic, colonial, segregationist or otherwise – and turn it into a weapon of elegance. Through meticulous style and refinement, dandies make a silent yet striking claim to moral superiority. Frederick Douglass was born into slavery, and freed in 1838. This photograph shows him in 1855. The Metropolitan Museum of Art Douglass famously appeared in immaculate Victorian suits when campaigning for abolition, consciously dressing in the same style as those who denied his freedom. Louverture used perfectly tailored French military uniforms during the Haitian Revolution against French colonial rule. In the 1920s, Harlem dandies wore fine tailoring and flamboyant colours, rejecting the idea that poverty or discrimination should dictate presentation. In perfectly tied cravats, polished shoes and sharply tailored coats, Black dandies refashion power on their own terms. Dandies also challenge the narrow rules of masculinity. Conventional menswear often demands restraint, toughness and invisibility. Dandies dare to embrace beauty, self-adornment and performance. This masculinity can be expressive, creative and even flamboyant. The luxurious silk suits and carefully groomed appearance of American Jazz pioneer Duke Ellington (1899–1974) projected glamour rather than austerity. The elegantly tailored overcoats and scarves of American poet Langston Hughes (1901–67) suggested a masculinity deeply entwined with creativity and softness. Figures in Harlem's ballrooms and jazz clubs blurred gender boundaries decades before mainstream conversations about gender fluidity emerged. A street scene in Harlem, New York City, photographed in 1943. Library of Congress In a world where Black self-presentation has long been scrutinised and politicised, tailored clothing asserted visibility, authority and artistry. Dandies transformed fashion into a political declaration of dignity, resistance and creative power. Black American tailoring practices blossomed most visibly in the zoot suits of the Harlem Renaissance, though they also had strong roots in New Orleans, Chicago and the Caribbean. As seen in the Sunday Best of the Civil Rights era, Black tailoring walked the line between resistance and celebration: beautiful but with clear political intent. In the 1970s, the Black dandy became more flamboyant, wearing tight, colourful clothes with bold accessories. He transformed traditional suits with exaggerated shapes, bright patterns and plaids inspired by African heritage. Artists popular with a white audience like Sammy Davis Jr. (1925–90), Miles Davis (1926–91) and James Brown (1933–2006) embraced the aesthetic, contributing to its widespread acceptance.

Nationaal Archief, CC BY Meanwhile, a super stylish contingent of Black men in the Congo, La Sapeur, refined their look so spectacularly they would become the benchmark of the Black dandy for generations to come. The 1990s saw a new era of Black dandyism emerge through luxury sportswear and hip-hop aesthetics. Designer Dapper Dan (1944–) revolutionised fashion by remixing luxury logos into bold, custom streetwear, creating a distinctive Black aesthetic that bridged hip-hop culture and high fashion. Musician André 3000 (1975–) redefined menswear by blending Southern Black style with bold color, vintage tailoring and theatrical flair. Today, the tradition thrives in the style of influencer Wisdom Kaye, the elegance of LeBron James, and the risk-taking of Lewis Hamilton. Tailored for You invites guests to interpret the dandy's legacy in personal, bold and boundary-pushing ways. Whether conforming to tradition, subverting expectations or creating something entirely new, this theme is a celebration of the freedom to dress – and be – on your own terms. The Black dandy is a figure of defiance and desire, of ambiguity and brilliance, of resistance and beauty. Dandyism blurs boundaries between masculinity and femininity, artifice and authenticity, conformity and rebellion. It unsettles fixed identities and reflects broader tensions within modern life. The poet and activist Countee Cullen, as depicted by Winold Reiss around 1925. National Portrait Gallery Black dandies have shocked, amused, offended, delighted and inspired society since their inception. In the sharp defiance of Douglass' Victorian suits, the flamboyant spectacle of Harlem ballrooms, and the logo-laced rebellion of Dapper Dan's streetwear, the Black dandy has continually forced the world to reckon with the politics of presence, pride and performance. Despite being overlooked by mainstream fashion history, they've shaped the way we see elegance, masculinity and self-expression. This Met Gala and the accompanying exhibition are not just a celebration – they are a long-overdue recognition.

Trump Orders Truck Import Probe, Setting Stage for Tariffs
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump's administration started an investigation into the need for tariffs on imports of medium- and heavy-duty trucks and parts, an expansion of his trade war that has hit hundreds of nations and sectors. Trump Gives New York 'One Last Chance' to End Congestion Fee DOGE Visits National Gallery of Art to Discuss Museum's Legal Status Why Car YouTuber Matt Farah Is Fighting for Walkable Cities The Racial Wealth Gap Is Not Just About Money Backyard Micro-Flats Aim to Ease South Africa's Housing Crisis The Commerce Department will probe the national security effects risks stemming from a 'small number' of foreign suppliers that it says have dominated US imports in part due to government subsidies and 'predatory trade practices,' according to a Federal Register notice. Officials will examine if domestic producers can meet US demand and the potential for foreign nations to 'weaponize their control over supplies of trucks and truck parts' by using export restrictions, the notice said. Trucks weighing more than 10,000 pounds, as well as parts and derivatives, will be subject to the investigation. Those are vehicles meant to haul goods across North America, not lighter pickups popular with consumers. Separately, Trump has imposed 25% tariffs on automobile imports and duties on car and light truck parts that are intended to go into place no later than May 3. The administration is considering reducing parts tariffs by exempting them from separate tariffs on China tied to fentanyl production and metals, according to the Financial Times. The truck probe, which the department said began on April 22, joins other trade investigations covering copper, lumber, semiconductors, critical minerals and pharmaceuticals. The investigations are proceeding under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, which generally produce findings within 270 days, though the Trump administration has moved to execute trade actions faster. The investigation raises the specter of new levies on the vehicles — or their component parts — that could heighten some costs for large fleet owners, and, potentially, commercial shipping across the US. The US Trade Representative has already advanced a plan for a fee on Chinese-built and -owned ships docking in the US, following a trade investigation ordered under former President Joe Biden. Trump's administration has increasingly turned to Section 232 as the legal basis for possible import taxes on key sectors. That can result in levies that endure across multiple presidencies, as compared to Trump's so-called 'reciprocal' tariffs he imposed using emergency powers.

Traders Fixated on What Companies Spend More Than Earn
(Bloomberg) -- Wall Street is already looking past what's expected to be Corporate America's slowest gain in quarterly earnings in a year, instead focusing on a number that rarely captures the limelight: capital expenditures. Trump Gives New York 'One Last Chance' to End Congestion Fee DOGE Visits National Gallery of Art to Discuss Museum's Legal Status The Racial Wealth Gap Is Not Just About Money Why Car YouTuber Matt Farah Is Fighting for Walkable Cities Backyard Micro-Flats Aim to Ease South Africa's Housing Crisis As President Donald Trump's on-again-off-again tariff regime keeps investors wondering what comes next, they're turning their attention to the pace at which the companies that propel the economy are spending to build their businesses. The hope is that their stance on big expenditures, like real estate or major machinery, will offer clarity into how they see the economy. 'I don't think businesses can spend cash in a time like this,' said Scott Ladner, chief investment officer at Horizon Investments. 'It is not an environment in which they can operate as usual, so they become very conservative. It is a wait-and-see situation.' The early signs confirm Ladner's thinking. This week, JB Hunt Transport Services Inc., a transportation industry bellwether, cut its capital expenditure plan for the year, following a similar move last month by FedEx Corp. Meanwhile, United Airlines Holdings Inc. laid out two possible earnings scenarios — one if there's a recession and another if it's avoided — yet in both cases its long-term investments were below prior expectations. 'The first quarter is already old news, even more so this time because things have changed so dramatically this month and look to change even further in the months ahead,' said Paul Christopher, head of global investment strategy at Wells Fargo Investment Institute. 'We are looking very carefully at the guidance that firms come out with, especially from industrials and materials.' Pessimism Builds Recent economic surveys add to the pessimism. Data from the Federal Reserve banks of Philadelphia, New York, Richmond and Dallas all show that manufacturers' plans for capital spending fell in the first quarter. The March NFIB small business optimism survey — which typically has a pro-Republican bias — fell below its 51-year average. And a poll by Chief Executive magazine conducted earlier this month found that just 26% of the 329 corporate leaders who participated planned to increase their capital expenditures, down from 36% in March and 56% in January. Meanwhile, overall industrial production fell in March for the first time in four months. An economic model from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. found that higher policy uncertainty and tighter financial conditions will likely exert a four-percentage-point drag on quarterly annualized growth in capital expenditures. 'Guidance in this quarter is going to be both hard to give and hard to trust,' said Raheel Siddiqui, senior strategist at Neuberger Berman. 'Company guidance is relevant when they have visibility, but right now no one has visibility.' Investors already had their eyes on spending at the biggest companies in the S&P 500, known as the Magnificent Seven, which poured billions into the development of artificial intelligence functions while driving the market's gains for the past two years. Those companies — Alphabet Inc., Inc., Apple Inc., Meta Platforms Inc., Microsoft Corp., Nvidia Corp. and Tesla Inc. — are expected to continue spending on developing AI this year, but Microsoft's sudden decision to pause work on data centers in Ohio shows that doubts about the value of those expenditures are emerging. Trump's tariffs are also expected to weigh on spending by Big Tech firms, which are at the heart of the global economy. And if the trade war triggers a recession, their spending on AI is seen at risk. 'I expect CEOs around the country are playing out what they will do if there were a recession, where to pull back, and that is where that AI spending comes in question,' said Brent Schutte, chief investment officer at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Co. 'If you truly have an economic pullback, AI spending will not be insulated.' Meanwhile, next week's earnings from manufacturing heavyweights General Electric Co. and Boeing Co., telecommunications behemoth AT&T Inc. and chemical major Dow Inc. should provide a read into whether major US companies beyond the Magnificent Seven are investing in growth. Most Vulnerable Companies The economic uncertainty spurred by Trump's incoherent tariff plans is bad for all businesses. But the most vulnerable companies right now are in capital-intensive industries that also have international trade exposure, analysts and strategists said. Manufacturers of computers, electronics, appliances, machinery, petroleum products and chemicals will likely have the most gloomy updates, and transportation companies will feel the pinch as consumer demand takes a hit, they added. 'The first casualty in the trade war is likely to be CEO confidence,' said Deane Dray, co-head of global industrials research at RBC Capital Markets. 'Once that is compromised, then you get project delays, longer approval times, and that leads to cancellations and capex cuts. Since what is capex for one is revenue for another, there is then this cascade effect, and you start seeing capex cuts more broadly.' Dray expects some manufacturers to suspend guidance due to the uncertainty surrounding trade. Companies like industrial distributor Wesco International Inc., engineering technology provider Fortive Corp. and 3M Co., which makes Scotch tape and Post-it notes, remain most exposed to the turmoil, he said. The outlook from trucking and logistics companies, which move goods used by corporations as well as consumers, also will be crucial to watch. 'Carriers I think are going to start cutting capex,' said TD Cowen analyst Jason Seidl. 'You're going to see at least mild reductions to capex for this year.' Many of the publicly traded truckers are using relatively new vehicles, Seidl noted. 'They could easily push the fleet age half a year out,' he said. 'That's not beyond the realm of possibilities at all.' However, that kind of decision would ripple through the supply chain, where companies that make trucks and their parts — such as Cummins Inc. and Paccar Inc. — will see orders take a hit if shippers hold off on plans to upgrade their trucking fleets. Of course, there's still the possibility that the Trump administration's effort to bring manufacturing back to the US through the use of tariffs will spur some companies to build new factories or expand their businesses, which could help offset at least some of the expected spending declines. 'One way to curry favor with this administration is to do what they are trying to make people do. Which is build manufacturing capabilities in some capacity,' Horizon's Ladner said. 'This is a different kind of virtue signaling, a 'president signaling.' See we are doing the things you want us to do.' --With assistance from Cailley LaPara.

Trump Ramps Up Pressure on Zelenskiy to Accept Peace Agreement
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump ratcheted up pressure on Volodymyr Zelenskiy to accept a peace deal that critics fear will favor Moscow, accusing the Ukrainian president of prolonging the war that's now in its fourth year. Trump Gives New York 'One Last Chance' to End Congestion Fee DOGE Visits National Gallery of Art to Discuss Museum's Legal Status The Racial Wealth Gap Is Not Just About Money Why Car YouTuber Matt Farah Is Fighting for Walkable Cities Backyard Micro-Flats Aim to Ease South Africa's Housing Crisis Trump's latest broadside against Zelenskiy, made on Truth Social, comes even as Ukraine and its European allies have sought to slow Trump's rush to a deal over fears it will sacrifice Ukrainian and European security. They insist that a ceasefire and clarity over security guarantees for Ukraine must precede any deal that involves negotiations over territory, according to people familiar with the matter. In his post, Trump tore into the Ukrainian leader for saying earlier this week that his country wouldn't recognize Russian sovereignty over Crimea and doing so would go against the constitution. Trump said a proposed deal wouldn't ask Ukraine to do so. 'It's inflammatory statements like Zelenskyy's that makes it so difficult to settle this War,' Trump wrote. 'The statement made by Zelenskyy today will do nothing but prolong the 'killing field,' and nobody wants that! We are very close to a Deal but the man with 'no cards to play' should now, finally, GET IT DONE.' The remark was only the latest sign of Trump's ire toward Zelenskiy, with whom he clashed in the Oval Office in February and has repeatedly pressured to accept a deal. That's put the Ukrainian leader in the awkward position of seeking to keep the US on its side while also looking to sand down some of Trump's demands. Trump warned last week that he would walk away from efforts to end the war if a deal can't be reached soon. At a meeting in Paris last week, US officials presented Europe and Ukraine with a new proposal to end the war that would effectively freeze the conflict largely along existing battle lines, Bloomberg previously reported. The US is also willing to recognize Russia's occupation of Crimea, which is internationally recognized as Ukrainian territory, and to ease sanctions on Moscow as part of any potential deal. Trump's comments add to pressure on Ukraine from the administration. Earlier Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance said in India that any potential deal will have to include 'some territorial swaps' and the border may not wind up reflecting the front lines as they stand now. He said the US has issued a 'very explicit proposal' to Russia and Ukraine and warned it could walk away from the deal if they don't agree. That's generated some pushback from European and Ukrainian officials. Ahead of a meeting in London Wednesday, allies sought further detail from Washington on the sequencing of its proposal to stop the fighting in Ukraine and to bring an end to Russia's full-scale invasion, currently into its fourth year. While they are keen to work in support of the US plan, Ukraine and European states want assurances that Russia is willing to agree to a ceasefire to provide space to negotiate a final peace agreement, according to the people familiar with the matter. They also want to be sure Moscow is willing to accept an agreement that would include security guarantees from Ukraine's Western partners, which would allow Kyiv to retain an adequately manned and equipped army, they added speaking on condition of anonymity. It's the latest attempt to influence the talks that had left Europe under pressure as Washington pushes for a deal with Vladimir Putin and tries to exert tough conditions on Kyiv. Europeans have grown alarmed that in the rush to halt the fighting the odds may increasingly be stacked against Kyiv. While Ukraine has said it is ready to agree to an unconditional ceasefire, Russia's preference is for negotiations to focus on the final terms and conditions of an agreement. Moscow has also driven a hard bargain in any truce talks and had been accused by Kyiv of breaking a partial, 30-day ceasefire that recently lapsed. Zelenskiy's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, said in a Telegram post after the talks in London ended that Kyiv remained committed to Trump's peace efforts and regular consultations will continue. A 'full and unconditional ceasefire' would be a first step toward a 'full-fledged settlement process and achieving a just and sustainable peace,' he said in an earlier post ahead of the meetings on Wednesday. In a worrying development for Kyiv, the talks in London between top officials from the US, Ukraine and major European powers were downgraded to technical-level meetings after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio postponed his visit. Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff, who was also expected to participate, will instead travel to Moscow this week after visiting Putin three times already since the inauguration. Territorial Swaps Still, the US needs Europeans on board to lift sanctions on Russia as changing the bloc's restrictions requires the backing of all member states. Freezing the conflict would be a far greater sacrifice for Ukraine, which has sought to regain all territory in the country's east and south seized by Russia since 2014, including Crimea, and following the full-scale invasion that began in February 2022. Russia welcomes the US 'mediation efforts,' though many details of a settlement still need to be discussed and work is continuing, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday, according to the state-run Tass news service. While there are no contacts now with Ukraine or Europe, Putin is open to them in the interests of reaching a settlement, Peskov said. --With assistance from Akayla Gardner.
