"Another year has come and gone with what feels like record speed. If you're like me, January is a time to slow down and ease into the new year with quiet reflection, soft music, and silent reading. One of my favorite reads this time of year is A View From the Easel, our weekly column that spotlights artists' working spaces."
"Nothing sounds cozier to me right now than curling up in artist Maxine Davidowitz's upstate barn studio with some hot cocoa. Games go great with winter days, too. We've got Hyperallergic 's monthly Art Crossword today, with a special Art Deco theme, plus Required Reading, which rounds up can't-miss articles, essays, and videos from the past week. Here's to a hopeful 2026, filled with levity and mirth."
January invites slowing down, quiet reflection, soft music, and silent reading. A View From the Easel spotlights artists' working spaces; Maxine Davidowitz's upstate barn studio evokes coziness and hot cocoa. Winter activities include games such as an Art Deco–themed crossword and a Required Reading roundup that gathers can't-miss recommendations of essays, videos, and other media from the week. Community contributions offer personal retrospection about creating in a basement and meditations on light, hedonistic dance-floor photography, and histories of public bathrooms. Features celebrate the centennial of a pivotal 20th-century movement and revisit archival profiles from Sesame Street to recreated artist studios while expressing hopeful seasonal sentiments for 2026.
