Introducing the Artists on Artists issue starring @asherald and @jonbatiste. It’s been a busy year for the history-making painter and musician. Amy Sherald just opened “American Sublime,” her mid-career survey and largest exhibition yet, at the @sfmoma; while Jon Batiste returned to his classical roots with his recent album “Beethoven Blues,” which presents modern renditions of the canonical composer’s works. Despite their sweeping impacts on contemporary culture, both artists—shot by @danascruggs in Sherald’s New Jersey studio—are careful to protect the delicate filament, that “pure thing,” at the heart of their work. “When you’re in that flow state, sometimes you forget how you got to the end result. I feel like a vessel. I work hard so I can then be in the moment like a kid,” Batiste tells Sherald. “It’s like a trance,” the painter adds. “The ideas come, and I do what I’m told.” To read the full conversation between Amy Sherald and Jon Batiste and pre-order your copy of the Artists on Artists issue, head to the link in bio. Amy wears a dress by @gabrielahearst, earrings by @davidyurman, and bracelets and a ring by @vancleefarpels. Jon wears a suit, shirt, and tie by @ysl; ring by @cartier; and shoes by @louboutinworld. Additional jewelry is musician’s own.

An ode to unfettered creativity, bold experimentation, and collaboration, this edition includes a trio of cover conversations between figures—from filmmakers to painters and musicians—who are committed to illuminating our strange, uncertain moment.
It’s official! ✨ My first museum survey, AMERICAN SUBLIME, opens this week @sfmoma 🖼️ November 16, 2024 – March 9, 2025. It’s been an incredible journey. The show will be nearly 50 paintings. It’s been so great working with @srehmroberts on this exhibition. Dreams really do come true. 💫 #AmericanSublime #AmySherald #SFMOMA #ArtExhibition #MuseumSurvey #DreamsComeTrue #ArtInSanFrancisco #ContemporaryArt #BlackArt #womeninart #murica #blackjobs
@asherald and @jonbatiste first met through a mutual friend—one of Sherald’s best-known subjects whom the pair simply call “Michelle.” Batiste, winner of multiple Grammys and an Academy Award, first met the Obamas when they produced “American Symphony,” the documentary about his album of the same name. Sherald’s portrait of the former first lady earned her the grand prize in the 2016 Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition from the National Portrait Gallery—making her both the first woman and first African American to do so. For their cover story in CULTURED’s Artists on Artists issue, the friends met up for a candid discussion about the pressures that come with accessing such rarefied air.

With less than two weeks remaining, it’s essential to prioritize our own stability to effectively support others. The stakes are clear, as are the critical issues before us—threats to entire communities, LGBTQIA rights, reproductive autonomy, judicial appointments, immigration reform, economic stability, education, mental health, and gun regulation…I can keep going. #vote #beresponsible #kamalaforpresident
