Nunes is a self-taught D.C. painter whose style draws on European neoclassicism as well as pop realism, and whose topics are mostly derived from his formative years in Brazil.

Throughout the roaring decade, she became known for her impeccable techniques and her mixing of influences: cubism and neoclassicism, stillness and speed, past and future.

One little-reported story is that the Trump administration has mandated neoclassicism as the official architectural style for federal buildings.

The draft order, dispiritingly titled Making Federal Buildings Beautiful Again, argues that neoclassicism symbolises the founding fathers’ “self-governing ideals”, whereas contemporary styles such as brutalism and deconstructivism are incapable of embodying America’s “national values”.
