(National Gallery of Art) By Sebastian Smee Art critic December 10 The most famous painting in the Musée d’Orsay — and probably the second-most famous painting in Paris after the “Mona Lisa” — is Édouard Manet’s “Olympia.” What does this 1863 painting show? A pale-skinned prostitute in satin slippers, a black cat and . what else? Oh, yes, a black maid holding a bouquet of flowers. Such is the response, in swift summary, of most of the art historians who have written about “Olympia,” a fountainhead of modern art and a painting as enigmatic as it is arresting. When you consider that the black maid dominates the entire right side of the painting, the lack of attention paid to her is baffling. 1/6 Unlike most black servants depicted in 19th century French art, she is clothed. We also know her name: Laure. But that was about it. Now, thanks to Denise Murrell, an art historian with a background in finance, Laure has emerged from the shadows. We find her in the company, what’s more, of dozens of other black models in modern art.

(The Rachel and Jean-Pierre Lehmann Collection/Mickalene Thomas/Artist Rights Society) “Olympia” itself rarely leaves Paris, so it is not among the works in “Posing Modernity: The Black Model From Manet and Matisse to Today” at Columbia University’s Miriam and Ira D.

Socialism was on the rise in Massachusetts in 1902. For the Democratic Party, the Socialist vote, along with that of other splinter parties, such as the Prohibition and Labor Parties, frequently meant certain defeat by the Republicans. That November, the third party vote meant the difference between victory and defeat in many elections, including the governorship, lieutenant governorship and at least seven state senate seats. Socialist James Carey was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives from Haverhill.
