sorry tufty I'm not good with modern art

I love Franz Marc, Cezanne, Kandinsky, the Delaunays, a few others and a couple of mates who are abstract artists but aside from them I'm a bit of a luddite I'm afraid

This is my favourite landscape, 'The Icknield Way', by Spencer Gore (1912). It's in a gallery in Australia so I'm unlikely to ever see it in the flesh. So pretty though huh.

That reminds me of Hockney’s landscapes.

Haven't really liked Hockney but those are lovely Cezanne does it for me



I got an A1 print of that and framed it along with some Franz Marc - can't put my finger on it but do love them

If anyone is interested, there’s some free events at the CAC Malaga, online of course, I assume it will be in Spanish, but you could still look at the pics.


sold out up to Friday

Just found another gallery to visit Museum of Fine Arts Ghent | MSK Gent
some fantastic stuff there. I love the Golden Age and Flemish stuff, but no Rembrandt

I came across this collection of photographs of Hong Kong in the 1950s by Fan Ho, apparently one of China's most celebrated photographers. Rightly so too, check this shit out.

When you consider what's happening in HK at the moment, that's really sad

 

[killer b]

I think it was pretty spicy there in the 1950s too tbf

There's an exhibition at the Modernist Gallery in Manchester at the moment of these glorious paintings of motorway bridges - definitely going to check them out in the flesh when I'm over there this weekend. Details here:

After seeing this a few weeks ago, I have just tracked it down and ordered a copy for Mrs Tag Olivier Leger | Wildlife Artist

I was in The Whitworth gallery this afternoon and was particularly taken by a couple of paintings by Cecily Brown, part of a series of works based in varying degrees of abstraction on a painting by Eugene Delacroix, Christ Asleep During the Tempest, and Gericault's Raft of the Medusa.

In the shop on the way out I found the catalogue for the full exhibition (which was a few years ago) on sale half price so I bought it - I really love her use of colour and the movement in her lines (they are mostly charcoal and watercolour)

A few faves from the book below, but its strong all the way through.

Omg I love them!

that one of the bridge over the M62 on the way into Leeds is a particular favourite (it's one of my favourite bridges in the flesh too)

Just saw this artist on an art Facebook group, but there's something I really love about their work, something soothing...

Lovely paintings. Also enjoyed the HK photos. I wonder what film they're taken on? The colours are incredible. Plus the light has an ethereal quality. Thanks for sharing.

We inherited some B&W prints of Glasgow in the 60s. They were taken by uncle David and were prize winning. Unfortunately they're in Spain atm but we hope to repatriate them soon. When I get them I'll share here.
