This is the best artist retrospective of the year: “Jack Whitten: The Messenger” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

MoMA’s powerful tribute to Jack Whitten finally gives the visionary abstract painter his due, tracing nearly 60 years of radical experimentation—from paint-scraping rakes to a haunting 9/11 masterpiece five years in the making. “Jack Whitten: The Messenger” is on view through August 2. Don’t miss it. #art #nyc #modernart
