A lost panel from Jacob Lawrence’s Struggle series has been found after being missing for 60 years. A visitor to the exhibition ‘Jacob: Lawrence: The American Struggle’, currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, thought that the missing panel (one of five that have been lost) might have been hanging for years in the home of her neighbours and encouraged them to contact the museum. The neighbours, who wish to remain anonymous, contacted the Met and, after being authenticated, the painting – which depicts Shays’ Rebellion – is now part of the exhibition.
Once a place where sea, desert, and palm groves coexisted in rare harmony, Tunisia’s Gabès Oasis stands today as one of the world’s most fragile cultural-environmental sites. At its heart is artist Mohamed Amine Hamouda, whose ecological practice offers a form of resistance—one built on memory, materials, and a return to ancestral knowledge.
