The North Star

The North Star, 2022

Carrie Mae Weems

A painting of an art gallery with wood floors and pinkish walls and nine wood pedestals sporting stone statues, some missing appendages. On the far wall are two unframed works of art, one depicting a figure against a rural backdrop, the other, two figures in hats against a brick wall. On the left wall an apartment building is visible in what is likely an artwork hung with the canvas flush against the floor, but it might instead be an improbable passageway outside—there is no dimension to indicate one or the other, so it almost seems to be both.

Carrie Mae Weems

A lively and vibrantly colored painting dense with figures that take up the entire canvas. These include a wizard-like man with a long white beard in a black top hat, spectacles, and a bright-blue robe adorned with celestial imagery. Robed revelers pass behind him on white horses, and he is flanked by two figures: to the left, a medium-skinned woman in a yellow dress holds a cone-shaped telescope aloft and peers into it with one eye, while at left, a light-skinned child wearing a cone-shaped party hat holds a horn-shaped noisemaker to their mouth.
