👋 Spotlight: Nancy Rourke

She started drawing as a child because it was how she talked to her parents.

She went to oral schools and did not learn ASL until she got to college at NTID. That gap is the engine of everything she paints now.

Rourke works in De'VIA — Deaf View / Image Art — which sorts into three modes: resistance, affirmation, liberation. Hers is mostly resistance, in bold primary colors, taking direct aim at oralism, audism, and the machinery that decides what Deaf children are allowed to become. One of her best-known images is children in a speech classroom signing A-S-L behind their backs.

Her influences are Basquiat and Jacob Lawrence — both painters of civil rights. Her own style has a name now: Rourkeism.

🎨 Find her paintings at nancyrourke.com.

Behind her, brightly colored abstract paintings in yellow, blue, red and green sit on easels in a studio. A white-line frame insets around the photo. Lower-left text reads "Nancy Rourke — De'VIA Painter + ARTivist," with an italicized line: "Resistance • Affirmation • Liberation." The Tive logo is in the bottom-right.]

In 1819 Goya bought a house outside Madrid called Quinta del Sordo — House of the Deaf Man. 🖤

It was already called that. The previous owner had been deaf. Goya, deaf himself since an illness at 46 took his hearing in a single winter, bought the House of the Deaf Man by coincidence and moved in at 73.

Then he covered the walls.

Fourteen murals, painted straight onto the plaster of the dining room and the upstairs salon. He never titled them, never exhibited them, and never mentioned them in anything that survives. Saturn Devouring His Son was on the dining room wall. He ate underneath it.

They came off the plaster in the 1870s and hang in the Prado now. When the public finally saw them, critics found them shockingly modern — decades ahead of Expressionism.

He painted them for nobody. That is exactly why they are the best thing he made.

Halloween week. Go look at them.

Museo Nacional del Prado

[Image description: An oil self-portrait, its surface finely cracked with age. An older man with gray-streaked dark curly hair and heavy brows looks straight out at the viewer with a sombre expression, wearing a dark red coat over a white shirt and cravat against a deep brown background. Small text at the top reads "Deaf Connection" above a white pill reading "WORTH KNOWING." A serif headline reads "Deaf and alone, he painted 14 murals on his walls." Centered lower text reads "Francisco Goya," "Painter • The Black Paintings," "Why it mattered: A Deaf painter's private world became canon." The Tive logo sits at the bottom center.]
