(A red sash tied around a white swatch of fabric that covers the lower part of her body has also been cut.) The unknown sitter stares out in the video, taking up the full screen, her hair wrapped in a turban, her eyes angled slightly to her right as she shows one golden hoop earring (a pose that brings to mind Kerry James Marshall’s Untitled (Painter), 2009). The video crops Benoist’s portrait so that the servant’s exposed breast is no longer visible. Kadish, a scholar on French slavery, has written that, while some have read the woman in Benoist’s painting as an allegory for the republic (she is surrounded by the tricolor) or noted her resolute gaze, the art historian Griselda Pollock has compared the image to that of a scene in a slave auction, and the art historian Darcy Grimaldo Grigsby has written that its offensive title, which dehumanizes the sitter, “exercises a form of mastery or subordination: the sitter is robbed, like a slave, of her person’s property.” The album was released on Tidal Beyonc wears Baroque-inspired Versace prints from head to toe. Apeshit is the name of the single with a music video filmed in the Louvre museum in Paris. Possibly showing a servant brought to France from the Antilles by Benoist’s brother-in-law, it was painted in 1800, after the abolition of slavery by France but just as Napoleon was working to reinstate it in the nation’s colonies.ĭoris Y. Beyonc and Jay-Z released a joint album, Everything Is Love. Perhaps the most intriguing inclusion is a close-up shot of Marie-Guillemine Benoist’s Portrait of a Negress (1800) near the end of the video. Occasionally the lyrics and paintings cleverly sync up, too, as when Beyoncé sings, “Sippin’ my favorite alcohol/Got me so lit I need Tylenol” while details of wine being generously poured in Veronese’s The Wedding at Cana (1563) flash on screen. 2600 B.C.), the Venus de Milo (101 B.C.), The Winged Victory of Samothrace (190 B.C.), and David’s Coronation of Napoleon (1805–07), their movements and poses sometimes loosely mirroring those of figures in the artworks. The leading couple and their accompanying dancers also spend time with iconic works like the Great Sphinx of Tanis (ca.
Jacques-Louis David’s Coronation of Napoleon (1805–07). (On streaming services, including Tidal, which is partly owned by Beyoncé and Jay-Z, a still of that image serves as the album’s cover.) 1503–06) is the star of the show, the couple posing while viewing it ( as they have in the past) and a woman combing a man’s hair with an afro pick as he sits in a chair in front of the work. The paintings and sculptures that appear in the video, often in luscious detail, span more than three millennia, and they focus particularly on the picturing and projection of power, the conception and regulation of female beauty, and the depiction of suffering. What a Saturday night! Following a concert in London, Beyoncé and Jay-Z released a new collaborative album titled Everything Is Love, an additional track titled “Salud!,” and a video for one of their freshly minted tracks, “Apeshit,” which was largely filmed at the Louvre in Paris and which includes dramatic shots of numerous masterpieces from the museum’s collection. I have so much to share.A still from the new video for Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s song “Apeshit.” One of my most satisfying moments as a mom is when I found Blue one day soaking in the bath with her eyes closed, using blends I created and taking time for herself to decompress and be at peace. "And I'm so happy that my daughters will have the example of those rituals from me. And now I'm building a hemp and a honey farm. "I found healing properties in honey that benefit me and my children. "During quarantine, I went from overindulgences to creating positive rituals drawing from past generations and putting my own spin on things," she said. While the star rarely talks about them, back in September she told Harper's Bazaar about how her self-care rituals have impacted her daughters for the better.
