Comprising nine works by three generations of female artists from the Americas, “Tha Sun Will Set: Contemporary Abstraction and the Body” draws from the MFA’s collection to trace a lineage of abstract painting spanning seven decades.
The exhibition borrows its title from Christina Quarles’s In 24 Days Tha Sun’ll Set at 7pm (2022), which takes joyful liberty with the traditions of abstraction by experimenting with various painting techniques and ways of depicting figures in a landscape. Quarles’s painting arrived at the MFA in 2023, as part of an initiative to expand the Museum’s works by women, and is on view here for the first time. Also making their public debuts are Marcia Hafif’s Pop-inspired bodily abstraction 153. (1967) and Rose B. Simpson’s early earthenware piece Red (2012).

The experience was very good. The tour guide kept talking for an hour and entertained everyone. You can experience all the city views on land and water. The moment you got into the water, everyone was recording. When you met other duck boats during the journey, everyone would imitate the duck&#39;s call to greet each other

The terminal of the Freedom Trail
This granite monument in Charlestown, Boston, is said to be one of the earliest monuments in the United States, used to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill between the British Army and the North American Colonial Militia (OK, I admit that I checked it recently
)
Now this is the terminal of Boston&#39;s Freedom Trail. If the weather is good, you can walk all the way from Boston Park~
The only way to get to the top of the monument is to climb the stairs
There are a total of 294 steps, and numbers are marked every few steps, so that people who are panting and climbing the stairs can have a number in mind

There is actually only a small space on the top of the monument, but looking out through the small windows on all four sides, I immediately feel that climbing the stairs is worth it~
