Abstract painting isn't something Juxtapoz was born with, so to speak. We have had to learn and lean in a bit. As a magazine founded on underground comix and outsider art, abstraction was more in a psychedelic sense than a literal conversation. But we have grown into a bit more abstraction in the last 10 years or so, following a trend of artists who have mastered a combination of figuration with abstraction into something completey original. And, of course, there has been a resurgence in recent years of appreciating the Russian and Italian futurists of the early 20th century, and how those artists looked at the modern world and modern warfare of WWI and began to create work that was an abstracted view of reality. Which begs the question: what was the first abstract painting?

Editor's Note: This article was originally published on February 10, 2022. It has since been updated. Faced with the reality of being slaves in a foreign land, Igbo people chose death as they walked into the ocean and drowned while still chained to each other. It was one of the first documented acts of rebellion from the people of Africa against white slave traders. It was the year 1803 and 75 West Africans, with a majority of them being Igbo, were sold for $100 each to John Couper and Thomas Spalding. Originating from Nigeria, the Igbo people were renowned for their industriousness, independence, and pride in their work. John Couper and Thomas Spalding "bought" the Igbo people with the intention of taking them to work on plantations in St. Simons Island, Georgia, in the U.S. They were packed onto a slave ship but as the ship neared Georgia, Igbo people rebelled and took over the ship, killing the captain and some of the crew. The ship ran aground in Dunbar Creek, off St. Simons Island, according to Mother Jones.

The botched restoration of an 18th century Spanish church in the town Soria has left the cherubs looking like monkeys and restoration experts puzzled. El Confidencial reported Thursday that the botched restoration is the second coming of “Ecce Homo” or “Monkey Christ,” referring to another botched restoration which went viral 12 years ago. “We’re not talking about a failed restoration here; we’re talking about an assault on heritage,” Francisco Manuel Espejo, president of Spain’s Professional Association of Restorers and Conservators, said in a statement of the failed restoration. The heritage society of Soria told the Spanish paper that the restorers...
