Regilding, in-gilding, or in-painting?
Proposing a critical decision-making framework for gilded wood conservation by Malgorzata Sawicki Introduction The conservation of gilded wood – from architectural interiors, polychrome sculpture, altarpieces, panel paintings, furniture, to picture frames - presents a nexus of complex material, aesthetic, and ethical challenges. A conservator specialized in this field, determining whether, where, and how to intervene in the life of such an artefact, needs to keep a careful balance between maintaining historical and material integrity and reinstating sufficient aesthetic unity for the object to be understood.

Photographer Carl Van Vechten took this black-and-white portrait of Anna May Wong in 1932. Wong wears a shiny satin top hat, a dark tuxedo jacket, a white wing-collared shirt, and a bow tie. She holds a cocktail glass near her chest. She wears a dark ring on her ring finger, and her nails are long and manicured.

Most state attorneys general released Meta from Cambridge Analytica-related claims as part of the child safety settlement. New Mexico wasn't part of that deal, and a jury there just found 26 of 29 past claims about Cambridge Analytica, hate speech and misinformation willfully deceptive.

Just finished the first four books of The Years of Lyndon Johnson by Robert A. Caro (1982, 1990, 2002, 2012) #reading #booksky #20thC 📚 If you haven't read them, you really should.
The Years of Lyndon Johnson by Robert A. Caro
The Path to Power, 1982 
Means of Ascent, 1990
Master of the Senate, 2002
The Passage of Power, 2012"Johnson's domestic policy agenda known as the Great Society was aimed at expanding civil rights, public broadcasting, access to health care, aid to education and the arts, urban and rural development, consumer protection, environmentalism, and public services. He sought to create better living conditions for low-income Americans by spearheading the War on Poverty. As part of these efforts, Johnson signed the Social Security Amendments of 1965, which resulted in the creation of Medicare and Medicaid. Johnson made the Apollo Moon landing program a national priority; enacted the Higher Education Act of 1965 which established federally insured student loans; and signed the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 which laid the groundwork for U.S. immigration policy today. Johnson's civil rights legacy was shaped by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Civil Rights Act of 1968."

Major legislation signed:

1963: Clean Air Act
1963: Higher Education Facilities Act
1963: Vocational Education Act
1964: Civil Rights Act
1964: Urban Mass Transportation Act
1964: Wilderness Act
1964: Nurse Training Act
1964: Food Stamp Act
1964: Economic Opportunity Act
1965: Housing and Urban Development Act
1965: Higher Education Act
1965: Older Americans Act
1965: Coinage Act
1965: Social Security Act
1965: Voting Rights Act
1965: Immigration and Nationality Services Act
1966: Animal Welfare Act
1966: Freedom of Information Act
1967: Age Discrimination in Employment Act
1967: Public Broadcasting Act
1968: Architectural Barriers Act
