I will never ever ever ever get over Diego Velazquez's portrait work

First four are paintings of little people (jesters) of the Spanish court - you can read more about them here.

Last one is a painting of Juan de Pareja, another painter (you can read more about him here, this article and most other sources say he was Diego Velazquez's slave who was later freed, but I saw another one say that that was recently debunked so idk which is correct lol). It's the earliest known portrait of an Afro-Spanish man.

the david zwirner gallery and the felix gonzalez torres foundation in the smithsonian removed the descriptive plaque for portrait of ross in la by felix gonzalez-torres. the old plaque explained portrait for ross' origins as the artist's partner's aids related death, and replaced it with a plaque with absolutely no information about the piece itself, who ross was, or who gonzalez-torres was either. portrait of ross was also reeranged to lay on the floor long ways instead of in a pile as it typically is situated, and the plaque outside the exhibition FOR GONZALEZ-TORRES omits his sexuality, as well as his aids related death. i'm in utter disbelief

the great thing about the kungfu setting is the hero can be fighting three strapping young men simultaneously and you know he's not going to have any problem ripping them to shreds but then a portly octogenarian shows up and you think oh fuck this guy looks like bad news!!!
