Tuesday marks the fifth anniversary of the Capitol riots in Washington, DC. For two artists from NYC, the occasion means it is time to, once again, whip out their paintbrushes.
Lesley Friedman Rosenthal and Brigitte Bentele of the Upper West Side in Manhattan mark the anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection in Washington, DC, with powerful and somewhat unsettling works of art. Their hope is to document a pivotal moment in American history and spark necessary conversations around politics and democracy.
